Abstract
In complex real-world networks, the relation among vertices (people) changes over time. Even with millions of vertices, adding new vertices or deleting a few previous ones can drastically change the network’s dynamics. The Iterated Local Transitivity model is a deterministic model based on the principle of transitivity and local interaction among people. The same has been extended to signed social networks. Let \(\Sigma\) be a signed graph with underlying graph \(G = (V, E)\) and a function \(\sigma :E\rightarrow \{+,-\}\) assigning signs to the edges. We determine the relation between the characteristic polynomials of signed graph \(\Sigma\) and the signed graph obtained from \(\Sigma\) by adding (deleting) vertices or by adding (deleting) edges. Consequently, we present a recurrence relation for a characteristic polynomial of the Iterated Local Transitivity model for signed graphs.
期刊介绍:
Algebra is a common language for many scientific domains. In developing this language mathematicians prove theorems and design methods which demonstrate the applicability of algebra. Using this language scientists in many fields find algebra indispensable to create methods, techniques and tools to solve their specific problems.
Applicable Algebra in Engineering, Communication and Computing will publish mathematically rigorous, original research papers reporting on algebraic methods and techniques relevant to all domains concerned with computers, intelligent systems and communications. Its scope includes, but is not limited to, vision, robotics, system design, fault tolerance and dependability of systems, VLSI technology, signal processing, signal theory, coding, error control techniques, cryptography, protocol specification, networks, software engineering, arithmetics, algorithms, complexity, computer algebra, programming languages, logic and functional programming, algebraic specification, term rewriting systems, theorem proving, graphics, modeling, knowledge engineering, expert systems, and artificial intelligence methodology.
Purely theoretical papers will not primarily be sought, but papers dealing with problems in such domains as commutative or non-commutative algebra, group theory, field theory, or real algebraic geometry, which are of interest for applications in the above mentioned fields are relevant for this journal.
On the practical side, technology and know-how transfer papers from engineering which either stimulate or illustrate research in applicable algebra are within the scope of the journal.
