Majority games in dynamic social networks : a simulation study

Abstract

In this report, we study the robustness of a scale-free social network built using the Barabási–Albert (BA) model to majority dynamics through the use of majority game. We discuss the robustness of the network to majority dynamics is related to the hubs in the network. Depending on the initial opinion of the hubs, they may be able to suppress the initial minority opinions or help the initial minority opinions overturn the majority.
