Consensus formation on a triad scale-free network

Several cases of the Sznajd model of socio-physics, that only a group of people sharing the same opinion can convince their neighbors, have been simulated on a more realistic network with a stronger clustering. In addition, many opinions, instead of usually only two, and a convincing probability have also been considered. Finally, with minor changes we obtain a vote distribution in good agreement with reality. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
