Analytic Treatment of Tipping Points for Social Consensus in Large Random Networks (1304.7401v1)
Published 27 Apr 2013 in cs.SI and physics.soc-ph
Abstract: We introduce a homogeneous pair approximation to the Naming Game (NG) model by deriving a six-dimensional ODE for the two-word Naming Game. Our ODE reveals the change in dynamical behavior of the Naming Game as a function of the average degree < k > of an uncorrelated network. This result is in good agreement with the numerical results. We also analyze the extended NG model that allows for presence of committed nodes and show that there is a shift of the tipping point for social consensus in sparse networks.
