Abstracts

EN

The Sznajd model is investigated in the directed ErdH os-Rényi network with the clusterization coefficient enhanced to 0.3 by the method of Holme and Kim. Within additional triangles, all six links are present. In this network, some nodes preserve the minority opinion. The time τof getting equilibrium is found to follow the log-normal distribution and it increases linearly with the system size. Its dependence on the initial opinion distribution is different from the analytical results for fully connected networks.
