Abstract: We present a renormalization approach to solve the Sznajd opinion formation model on complex networks. For the case of two opinions, we present an expression of the probability of reaching consensus for a given opinion as a function of the initial fraction of agents with that opinion. The calculations reproduce the sharp transition of the model on a fixed network, as well as the recently observed smooth function for the model when simulated on a growing complex networks.
