...Finally, another literature also discusses opinion dynamics in a Bayesian setting, where individuals either observe the actions of others and/or communicate with them and update their beliefs about an underlying state variable (see, e.g., [Acemoglu et al. 2010b; Banerjee 1992; Jackson 2008])....

...(Watts & Strogatz’s small world) Watts and Strogatz [50], and then Newman and Watts [40] proposed simple models of random graphs to explain the empirical evidence that most social networks contain a large number of triangles and have a small diameter (the latter has become known as the small-world phenomenon)....

...Our work is also related to work on consensus and gossip algorithms, which is motivated by different problems, but typically leads to a similar mathematical formulation (Tsitsiklis [48], Tsitsiklis, Bertsekas and Athans [49], Jadbabaie, Lin and Morse [28], Olfati-Saber and Murray [42], Olshevsky and Tsitsiklis [43], Fagnani and Zampieri [24], Nedić and Ozdaglar [39])....
