Abstract

The Galam Majority Rule model describes how an opinion can spread in a network of nodes with no pre-existing edges. The model is used to describe opposing opinions that are represented in two states (Susceptible or Infected). This paper introduces a Multiple Majority Rule model (MMR) that improves the cons surrounding the Galam Majority Rule model by allowing opinion bias and adding a third state (undecided). The paper presents a comparative study between both models’ behavior and performance. Lastly, the paper analyzes the impact of the bias in the consensus of a majority.
