Network Theory and Models

Abstract: This entry introduces the theory and models of communication networks as a powerful tool for examining the structural complexity and underlying dynamics of human communication. The first section provides a brief overview of the historical background on which network thinking was born and discusses its implications. The second section reviews early studies on communication networks and introduces several important network concepts such as centrality and structural holes. The third section focuses on the recent … Show more

“…Network Theory is defined as the study of the way elements, such as individuals or resources, in a network interact by assuming that a set of objects are connected by some sort of link, pattern, or relationship, and that interaction is impacted by strong and weak binding connections (Oh and Monge, 2016). A general example of a strong connection would be staff who work in the same office and department, whereas a weak connection could be colleagues who work in the same field but for another company.…”

“…W sensie najbardziej ogólnym sieć jest dowolną strukturą złożoną z elementów połączonych relacjami i jest synonimem grafu. (Oh, Monge, 2016) Elementy sieci nazywane "węzłami" lub "wierzchołkami" mogą reprezentować zarówno komputery, jak i miejscowości na mapie, pojedynczy ludzie, grupy społeczne, państwa oraz każdy inny przedmiot zainteresowań (Dumała, 2012). Linie łączące wierzchołki i nazywane "krawędziami", odpowiadają istniejącym pomiędzy wierzchołkami relacjom -wzajemnemu skomunikowaniu, zależnościom, interakcjom i przepływom (Wilson, 2012).…”

“…Polegało ono na wyznaczeniu takiej trasy spaceru przez miasto, aby po wyjściu z domu, wrócić do niego, przechodząc dokładnie raz przez każdy z komunikujących miasto mostów (Wilson, 2012). Euler rozwiązał problem, rozważając własności grafu odpowiadającego topografii Królewca i zauważył, że logika jego badań prowadzi do powstania swego rodzaju "nowej geometrii" (Oh, Monge, 2016). O ile w geometrii klasycznej kluczowe znaczenie odgrywały miary kątów, długości odcinków, pola powierzchni figur płaskich lub objętości brył, o tyle "nowa geometria" Eulera przenosi ciężar badań na rozważania struktur rozumianych nie jako konkretne formy przestrzenne, lecz ogólne schematy skomunikowania.…”

“…Other applications can be found in: Bramoullé, Kranton, and D'Amours (2014) that examine social links that shape economic interactions, as in markets, and equilibria depend on network measures; Strogatz (2001) that analyzes complex networks in of nonlinear dynamics (2001); Helbing (2013) that studies connected, global networks of highly interdependent systems that are vulnerable to failure at all scales, with serious risks to society, the complexity and interaction in the network may become unstable; and König, Tessone, and Zenoue (2014) that develop a dynamic network model to explain the observed nestedness in real-world networks, their approach use stochastic stability to identify the networks to which the network formation process converges and find that they are nested split graphs. Finally, a fine introduction to modeling with network theory can be found in Ahuja (2017) and Oh and Monge (2016).…”
