2 Class Technicalities 10 lectures Online lectures: Fuze Meeting (FuzeBox.com) Website: My Programming: Matlab (Octave), R, Python, Matlab libraries: MatlabBGL, GraphViz (graphviz4matlab, graphviz) R libraries: igraph, statnet Python libraries: NetworkX, igraph Visusualization: yed, Gephi Leonid E. Zhukov (HSE) Lecture / 35

3 Course outline Networks structure Networks formation Networks processes Leonid E. Zhukov (HSE) Lecture / 35

4 Social Networks Sociology Mathematics Computer Science Statistical Physics Economics Leonid E. Zhukov (HSE) Lecture / 35

5 Terminolgy network = graph nodes = vertices, actors links = edges, relations clusters = communities Leonid E. Zhukov (HSE) Lecture / 35

6 Complex networks Networks = nodes + edges not regular, but not random complex (nontrivial) topolgy scale-free networks universal properties everywhere independent agents (?) Leonid E. Zhukov (HSE) Lecture / 35

16 Graphs and Networks Graph G(V, E), V - vertices, m = V, E - edges, n = E Directed, undirected, simple (no loops), weighted Connected if every pair of vertices is connected Connected component - maximal connected subgraph Path - sequence of edges that connects sequence of vertices (simple path, no repeated vertices) Geodesic distance - shortest path, l Graph diameter D- largest shortest path. Node degree k i - number of incedent edges ( number of nearest neighbours) Degree distribution P(k) - fraction of nodes with degree k Leonid E. Zhukov (HSE) Lecture / 35

17 Network represenation Graph G(n, m), adjacency matrix A ij, edge i j Storage: - adjacency list - sparse matrix Leonid E. Zhukov (HSE) Lecture / 35

18 Complex network Power law degree distribution: heavy tail (long tail) distributions Small diameter and average path length: "small world" Dense local structure, high transitivity/clustering coefficient Giant connected component Hierachical structure Local community (cluster) structure Leonid E.
