Modelling of Opinion Formation Process on Different Social Networks
摘要
Different processes related to the phenomena of interaction across communities are of particular interest, especially since the beginning of the current century. It concerns such processes as disease spreading, opinion distribution, and formation or recommendation systems. The last two are of particular interest in the rapid development of social networks. In our paper, we will present the proposition of the update scheme intended to describe the process of opinion change in continuous space. We show it for the 2D opinion space following Nolan’s idea of multidimensional opinion presentation. We implement our mechanism for different types of networks and different parameters. The paper shows that similarities exist between the networks with longer tails of node degree distribution, and we can observe the emergence of two groups around two different points in the space.
