Small World Models Shiwu Zhang Based on [M. Newman 2000, R. Albert 2000]
“Small World” phenomena • Experiment on delivering letters to a person from random selected people.(1967, Milgram) The result is “six degrees of seperation” • Small world effect (Korte& Milgram. 1970) • World Wide Web (R. Albert, et al. 1999) • Other experiments
Motivation • Information spread on social networks • Disease spread social networks • Virus spread on internet • WWW and internet development • Culture formation and reservation
Characteristics • Small world effect (Diameter d) • d: The average vertex-vertex distance • Clustering (Clustering coefficient C) • C: The average fraction of a node’s neighbor pairs that are also neighbors each other • Tolerance (d~f, C~f) • f: The fraction of nodes that is removed from network
Models on Small world network • Random graphs (Taking N dots and drawing Nz/2 lines between random pairs) • Completely ordered lattice (a low dimension regular lattice) • Watts-Strogatz model (a low dimension regular lattice with some degrees of randomness) • Other models
Scale-free network • Based on connectivity distribution P(k) • Exponential network • P(k) follows a Possion distribution • Random graph, Watts-Strogatz’s small world model • Scale-free network • P(k) follows a Power Law distribution • Barabasi and Albert’s model on internet • Real world models: Internet and WWW
Applications • Cellular automata, prison dilemma and oscillator networks on small world network and regular network (Watts and Strogatz 1998, 1999) • Disease spread on small world graphs. (Newman and Watts(1999), Satorras and Vespignami(2001), Dezso and Barabasi(2002) )—epidemic point • Coherent and fast response(Fernandez et al. 2000) • Behavior of the B-S model oh species coevolution on small-world graph (Kulkarni 1999)
Implications on MAS • Nodes->Agents • Dynamical links->Complex interactions • Small world effect->Cooperation • Tolerance->Robustness • Clustering->Species ……
