Lack of Gromov-hyperbolicity in small-world networks

Yilun Shang (2012)

Open Mathematics

The geometry of complex networks is closely related with their structure and function. In this paper, we investigate the Gromov-hyperbolicity of the Newman-Watts model of small-world networks. It is known that asymptotic Erdős-Rényi random graphs are not hyperbolic. We show that the Newman-Watts ones built on top of them by adding lattice-induced clustering are not hyperbolic as the network size goes to infinity. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effects of various parameters...

Large games with only small players and strategy sets in Euclidean spaces

Andrzej Wieczorek (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The games of type considered in the present paper (LSE-games) extend the concept of LSF-games studied by Wieczorek in [2004], both types of games being related to games with a continuum of players. LSE-games can be seen as anonymous games with finitely many types of players, their action sets included in Euclidean spaces and payoffs depending on a player's own action and finitely many integral characteristics of distributions of the players' (of all types) actions. We prove the existence of equilibria...

Limit state analysis on the un-repeated multiple selection bounded confidence model

Jiangbo Zhang, Yiyi Zhao (2023)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we study the opinion evolution over social networks with a bounded confidence rule. Node initial opinions are independently and identically distributed. At each time step, each node reviews the average opinions of several different randomly selected agents and updates its opinion only when the difference between its opinion and the average is below a threshold. First of all, we provide probability bounds of the opinion convergence and the opinion consensus, are both nontrivial events...

Mathematical Modeling and Quantitative Analysis of the Demographic and Ecological Aspects of Russian Supermortality

A. K. Cherkashin, Ya. A. Leshchenko (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We have carried out a polysystem analysis of the population dynamics by using a variety of hypotheses and their respective models based on different system interpretations of the phenomenon under investigation. Each of the models supplements standard dynamic equations for explaining the effects observed. A qualitative model-based analysis is made of the age-specific male mortality for a Siberian industrial city. The study revealed the tendencies...

Modèles dyadiques en sociométrie

J.-L. Peaucelle (1974)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

L'auteur propose une nouvelle méthode d'exploitation des tests sociométriques de Moreno par ajustement des résultats observés à des modèles de choix aléatoires (tests dichotomiques à expansivité libre). Alors que le modèle aléatoire de Bronfenbrenner s'inscrivait dans un raisonnement destiné à montrer que l'homme ne choisit pas au hasard, l'auteur montre que si on tient compte du caractère dyadique des attractions et de l'hétérogénéité des groupes, on peut représenter les choix par des modèles stochastiques...

Modeling acquaintance networks based on balance theory

Vida Vukašinović, Jurij Šilc, Riste Škrekovski (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

An acquaintance network is a social structure made up of a set of actors and the ties between them. These ties change dynamically as a consequence of incessant interactions between the actors. In this paper we introduce a social network model called the Interaction-Based (IB) model that involves well-known sociological principles. The connections between the actors and the strength of the connections are influenced by the continuous positive and negative interactions between the actors and, vice...
