Abstract

We analyze the evolution of Sznajd Model with synchronous updating in several complex networks. Similar to the model on square lattice, we have found a transition between the state with nonconsensus and the state with complete consensus in several complex networks. Furthermore, by adjusting the network parameters, we find that a large clustering coefficient does not favor development of a consensus. In particular, in the limit of large system size with the initial concentration p =0.5 of opinion +1, a consensus seems to be never reached for the Watts–Strogatz small-world network, when we fix the connectivity k and the rewiring probability ps; nor for the scale-free network, when we fix the minimum node degree m and the triad formation step probability pt.
