Abstract: According to the information dissemination and the interaction characteristics of users for online forums,a discrete time model was proposed for opinion propagation and public opinion formation based on the node influence.In the model,every node has the opinion and the influence which is defined as the weight of network,and the nodes will redistribute the weights and update their opinions during the each period.When the opinion of nodes converges to a certain value,the public opinion will be formed.The simulation results show that this model can emulate accurately the characteristics of interation and convergence.Besides,the results can provide the reference for the prediction of public opinion propagation.

Key words: Forum networks,Opinion propagation,Public opinion formation,Influence
