Bounded confidence model on a still growing scale-free network

Original · EN
A Bounded Confidence (BC) model of socio-physics, in which the agents have continuous opinions and can influence each other only if the distance between their opinions is below a threshold, is simulated on a still growing scale-free network considering several different strategies: for each new node (or vertex), that is added to the network all individuals of the network have their opinions updated following a BC model recipe. The results obtained are compared with the original model, with numerical simulations on different graph structures and also when it is considered on the usual fixed BA network. In particular, the comparison with the latter leads us to conclude that it does not matter much whether the network is still growing or is fixed during the opinion dynamics.
