Abstract EN
We analyze the convergence time of opinion dynamics in a social network with community structure.
Using matrix analysis, we prove that the convergence time is determined by the second largest eigenvalue modulus.
This modulus is close to 1 if the social influence matrix is nearly uncoupled.
Furthermore, we discuss and analyze the factors of community structure affecting the convergence time.
