Abstract EN

This paper defines two different ways of the process of the opinion formation and focuses on the effect of the proportion of the two strategies of process and the structure of the network.

A multiopinion model is proposed in this paper, which includes two strategies of opinion formation.

At the first part, the change of the structured network and the change of the single node are used as two strategies of the process of the opinion formation.

We focus on how the proportion of the two strategies can affect the outcome of the process.

At the second part, as the proportion of the two strategies is fixed, the edges are dense in the community and sparse outside.

Thus we can construct a bifurcation diagram to be verified through experimental study.

The phase transition is studied in the network which contains more than four opinions and two strategies of process.

Our results show that the size of the group and the dense of edges are the two important features for the process of opinion formation.
