Entropy of Dynamical Social Networks

چکیده
Human dynamical social networks encode information and are highly adaptive. To characterize the information encoded in the fast dynamics of social interactions, here we introduce the entropy of dynamical social networks. By analysing a large dataset of phone-call interactions we show evidence that the dynamical social network has an entropy that depends on the time of the day in a typical week-day. Moreover we show evidence for adaptability of human social behavior showing data on duration of phone-call interactions that significantly deviates from the statistics of duration of face-to-face interactions. This adaptability of behavior corresponds to a different information content of the dynamics of social human interactions. We quantify this information by the use of the entropy of dynamical networks on realistic models of social interactions.

Entropy operator for continuous dynamical systems of finite topological entropy
In this paper we introduce the concept of entropy operator for continuous systems of finite topological entropy. It is shown that it generates the Kolmogorov entropy as a special case. If $phi$ is invertible then the entropy operator is bounded with the topological entropy of $phi$ as its norm.
متن کاملENTROPY OF DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS ON WEIGHTS OF A GRAPH
Let $G$ be a finite simple graph whose vertices and edges are weighted by two functions. In this paper we shall define and calculate entropy of a dynamical system on weights of the graph $G$, by using the weights of vertices and edges of $G$. We examine the conditions under which entropy of the dynamical system is zero, possitive or $+infty$. At the end it is shown that, for $rin [0,+infty]$, t...
متن کاملThe concept of logic entropy on D-posets
In this paper, a new invariant called {it logic entropy} for dynamical systems on a D-poset is introduced. Also, the {it conditional logical entropy} is defined and then some of its properties are studied. The invariance of the {it logic entropy} of a system under isomorphism is proved. At the end, the notion of an $ m $-generator of a dynamical system is introduced and a version of the Kolm...
متن کاملA local approach to the entropy of countable fuzzy partitions
This paper denes and investigates the ergodic proper-ties of the entropy of a countable partition of a fuzzy dynamical sys-tem at different points of the state space. It ultimately introducesthe local fuzzy entropy of a fuzzy dynamical system and proves itto be an isomorphism invariant.
متن کاملEntropy Production in Stationary Social Media Networks
Completing their initial phase of rapid growth social media networks are expected to reach a plateau from where on they are in a statistically stationary state. Such stationary states may have different dynamical properties. For example, if each message in a network is followed by a reply in opposite direction, the dynamics is locally balanced. Otherwise, if messages are ignored or forwarded to...
