چکیده
Social network analysis (SNA) has been used to understand the behavior of nodes which could be individuals or group of persons, events or organizations etc. Importantly, these nodes propagate in many ways and obviously contains attributes. The leaf nodes/foot soldiers posses low values of centrality measures (degree,betweenness and closeness) indicating relatively not important in comparison to may be other more centrally connected nodes. However, in reality the leaf nodes also called may be follower are very important especially in terrorist cells as they execute the operations. In this paper a new approach to highlight the distinctiveness of these nodes using a binary concept is presented. The results obtained with our study shows and provides a reasonable point of view in understanding roles of different nodes in the

A decentralized multi-level leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain
This paper develops a decentralized leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain problem in which a new chain as the leader enters a market with one existing supply chain as a follower. Both chains produce an identical product, customer demand is inelastic and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity-based model. The leader wants to shape his network and set a...
متن کاملFormated Navigation of Mobile Robots Using Distributed Leader-follower Control
This paper presents a formated navigation based on the leader-follower approach. In this approach, the control law of the follower robot includes the states of the leader robot. This is a drawback for implementing the control laws on real mobile robots. To overcome this drawback, this paper proposes a new follower’s control law, called the self-made follower input, in which the state of the lea...
متن کاملFollowing the Leader: A Study of Individual Analysts Earnings Forecasts
This paper develops and tests procedures for identifying lead analysts based on the timeliness of analyst forecast revisions, the trading levels associated with these revisions, and forecast accuracy. Our framework provides an objective assessment of analyst quality that differs from the standard approach that uses survey evidence to rate analysts. Using a sample of equity analysts, we find tha...

This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...
متن کاملA New Method For Solving Linear Bilevel Multi-Objective Multi-Follower Programming Problem
Linear bilevel programming is a decision making problem with a two-level decentralized organization. The leader is in the upper level and the follower, in the lower level. This study addresses linear bilevel multi-objective multi-follower programming (LB-MOMFP) problem, a special case of linear bilevel programming problems with one leader and multiple followers where each decision maker has sev...
