Networks, Complexity and Economic Development

Class 5: Network Dynamics

Classes 5-7 APPLICATIONS (Oct 21st, Nov 18 th, Nov 25 th ) 4:10pm– 5:30 pm

Class Evaluation

Community Finding

Clique Percolation Methods Betweenness, Spectral Partition Methods

So far…We studied some basic network models:Erdos-Renyi: Random Graph.Watts-Strogatz: Small World.Barabasi-Albert: Scale-Free Networks.

We also saw how to characterize the structure of networks by looking at different structural properties.

Local Properties: Centrality Measures, Clustering, Topological Overlap, Motifs.

Global Properties: Diameter, Giant Component, Degree Correlations.

We also

Studied some dynamical consequences of Scale Free networks:

Error-Attack ToleranceVanishing Epidemic Threshold.

Vanishing Epidemic Threshold

Random Network:Epidemic spreads if r >1

Random Network:Epidemic spreads if r > <k>/<k2>

How predictable is an epidemic?

i= 1 if is city has an infected individualand 0 otherwise.

Overlap, measure similarity between the’s describing different realizationsof the simulation

High degree nodes difficult prediction,As there are many possible paths that

spreading cant take.

Heterogeneity in weight increasesPredictability as there are some links

That carry most of the traffic.(Effective degree is smaller)

High weight – High Betweenness

Low weight – High Betweenness
