Meeting Strangers and Friends of Friends: How Random are Social Networks?
We present a dynamic model of network formation where nodes find other nodes with whom to form links in two ways: some are found uniformly at random, while others are found by searching locally through the current structure of the network (e.g., meeting friends of friends). This combination of meeting processes results in a spectrum of features exhibited by large social networks, including the ...
متن کاملOn Finding Better Friends in Social Networks
We study the dynamics of a social network. Each node has to decide locally which other node it wants to befriend, i.e., to which other node it wants to create a connection in order to maximize its welfare, which is defined as the sum of the weights of incident edges. This allows us to model the cooperation between nodes where every node tries to do as well as possible. With the limitation that ...

متن کاملAre We Really Friends?: Link Assessment in Social Networks Using Multiple Associated Interaction Networks
Many complex network systems suffer from noise that disguises the structure of the network and hinders an accurate analysis of these systems. Link assessment is the process of identifying and eliminating the noise from network systems in order to better understand these systems. In this paper, we address the link assessment problem in social networks that may suffer from noisy relationships. We...
متن کاملWhere Online Friends Meet: Social Communities in Location-Based Networks
Recent research suggests that, as in offline scenarios, spatial proximity increases the likelihood that two individuals establish an online social connection, and geographic closeness could therefore influence the formation of online communities. In this work we present a study of communities in two online social networks with location-sharing features and analyze their social and spatial prope...
