Dynamical Models Explaining Social BalanceVincent Traag, Paul Van Dooren, Patrick De Leenheer
Universite Catholique de Louvain
Social Balance
I Social networks may have positive and negative links.
I Sociological balance explains structure of positive and negative links.
I “Enemy of my enemy is my friend”.
I Balanced triads leads to balanced networks.
I Balanced networks can be split in two factions.
I Central question: what dynamics leads to two factions?
Two Models
I First Model X = X 2.
I Gossip about what neighbour k thinks of j .
I Leads to social balance for symmetric initial conditions.
I No social balance for non-symmetric initial conditions.
I Second Model X = XXT .
I Gossip about what neighbour j did to k .
I Exactly same for symmetric initial conditions.
I Leads (almost) always to social balance.
