Power Indices in the Context of Social Learning Behaviour in Social Networks

Figure 7

Robustness of professionalism influence. Subgraph (a) shows the simulation results of 5 players (i.e., ) who play a repeated voting game in a social network with a 30% random connection probability, accompanied by voter ’s professional level rising from to , while leaving other parameters unchanged. Subgraph (b) shows the results of 13 players (i.e., ) with the same simulation conditions. The changes in power indices () improve with the professional level increasing in both cases, except for the isolated nodes.
