Abstract
► We model the impact of authority on consensus formation in adaptive social networks. ► Authority alters the time to reach consensus, and the number of opinion clusters. ► The post-consensus network is statistically similar regardless of initial topology. ► This final topology is statistically robust to random or targeted node removal.
