Asymptotically inspired moment-closure approximation for adaptive networks
arXiv:1304.1816 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.88.052804
Abstract
Adaptive social networks, in which nodes and network structure co-evolve, are often described using a mean-field system of equations for the density of node and link types. These equations constitute an open system due to dependence on higher order topological structures. We propose a new approach to moment closure based on the analytical description of the system in an asymptotic regime. We apply the proposed approach to two examples of adaptive networks: recruitment to a cause model and adaptive epidemic model. We show a good agreement between the improved mean-field prediction and simulations of the full network system.
