Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the opinion dynamics model of social impact theory on triad scale free network with power law degree distribution and tunable clustering coefficient. Based on this opinion dynamic model, we try to observe the clustering coefficient influence on opinion formation by adjusting the triad formation parameter. Simulation result shows that by adjusting triad scale free network parameters, a large clustering coefficient favors development of a consensus. In particular, when in the system with initial opinion proportion of +1, p + =0.5, a consensus seems to be never reached for triad scale free network with any clustering coefficient.
