Modelling systems by hypergraphs

Abstract: PurposeTo present the hypergraph as a systems model that is more versatile than are the single‐purpose models known from literature.Design/methodology/approachParting from a previously known approach, pertinent hypergraph structures are specified, three new propositions are proved and the role of system elements and relations is analyzed.FindingsUnlike a simple graph and a simple logical analysis, hypergraphs make it possible to apply a single theoretical approach to modelling a variety of systems.

“…The actual models presented in the article have a much more limited ambition (fortunately), yet lack a clearly formulated hypothesis. Network theory, indeed, is a very promising tool for modeling systems (Backlund, 2000;Gazdík, 2006). The ''semantic network'' presented by the authors, however, is a heterogeneous collection of abstract concepts (Creation), actions (Cemetery rituals), and social institutions (Village Government), partly connected to cognitive processes (Promiscuous teleology), and complex behavioral patterns (Hazard precaution).…”

“…Hypergraphs can be used to analyze multi-layer heterogeneous networks. A network that can be described by a hypergraph is a hypernetwork [27,28]. A component of the machining center has multiple fault modes, and a fault mode may occur in multiple components.…”

“…Analytical representation in the matrix form can be comfortably used by the computer and easily modified according to the needs of a particular system. The analysis of modern graph approaches shows that hypergraph has to be considered as one of the most adaptable tools for modelling systems as it provides additional capabilities to determine the set of variables relevant to each relationship as a single hypergraph edge covers all the variables involved in particular interaction (Gazdík, 2006). However, the hypergraph does not provide enough information to determine outputs and inputs in each relationship.…”
