Homophyly/Kinship Model: Naturally Evolving Networks

Homophyly/Kinship Model: Naturally Evolving Networks

It has been a challenge to understand the formation and roles of social groups or natural communities in the evolution of species, societies and real world networks. Here, we propose the hypothesis that homophyly/kinship is the intrinsic mechanism of natural communities, introduce the notion of the affinity exponent and propose the homophyly/kinship model of networks. We demonstrate that the ne...

Evolving Model of Weighted Networks

In this paper, in order to search the reason of the phenomena of powerlaw in the weighted networks, we present a general model for the growth of weighted networks that couples of new edges and vertices and the weights’ and intrinsic strengths’ dynamical evolution. This model is based on a simple weight and intrinsic strength driven dynamics and generates networks exhibiting the statistical prop...

An Evolving model of online bipartite networks

Understanding the structure and evolution of online bipartite networks is a significant task since they play a crucial role in various e-commerce services nowadays. Recently, various attempts have been tried to propose different models, resulting in either power-law or exponential degree distributions. However, many empirical results show that the user degree distribution actually follows a shi...

Evolving Latent Space Model for Dynamic Networks

Networks observed in real world like social networks, collaboration networks etc., exhibit temporal dynamics, i.e. nodes and edges appear and/or disappear over time. In this paper, we propose a generative, latent space based, statistical model for such networks (called dynamic networks). We consider the case where the number of nodes is fixed, but the presence of edges can vary over time. Our m...
