| Summary: | The interactions of opinions on the complex networks are significantly impacted by the structure of the networks. Previous studies of this kind mainly investigated the opinion dynamics on the fixed networks as a kind of synchronization. In this study, we focus on how the opinions evolving on the growing networks. We provide isolated nodes with different initial opinions at the beginning. The Achlioptas Process is introduced to link the nodes eventually. The opinions of two nodes influence each other linearly if there is a link between the two nodes. We establish both random graph and scale-free network in this paper. The finite-size scaling is discussed. We discover explosive transition of the speed for the opinions to achieve a consensus on some networks. Meanwhile, the stability of the networks to suppress the random damage is highly enhanced by the Achlioptas Process which is used to link all the nodes as a network. The encouraging results are obtained on different structures of networks. |
