Hierarchical Balance Theory: Emergence of Instability in Follower Layer Below Critical Temperatures
Amir Kargaran, Houman Jafari, G. Reza Jafari
Hierarchy significantly shapes interactions in social structures by organizing individuals or groups based on status, power, or privilege. This study investigates how hierarchy aff…
Response of the competitive balance model to the external field
Farideh Oloomi, Amir Kargaran, Ali Hosseiny +1
The competitive balance model was proposed as an extension of the structural balance theory, aiming to account for heterogeneities observed in real-world networks. In this model, d…
Hybrid balance theory: Heider balance under higher order interactions
M. H. Hakimi Siboni, A. Kargaran, G. R. Jafari
Heider's Balance Theory in signed networks, which consists of friendship or enmity relationships, is a model that relates the type of relationship between two people to the third p…
Heider Balance under Disordered Triadic Interactions
M. Bagherikalhor, A. Kargaran, A. H. Shirazi +1
The Heider balance addresses three-body interactions with the assumption that triads are equally important in the dynamics of the network. In many networks, the relations do not ha…
Heider and coevolutionary balance: From discrete to continuous phase transition
A. Kargaran, G. R. Jafari
Structural balance in social complex networks has been modeled with two types of triplet interactions. First, the interaction that only considers dynamic role for links or relation…
Mean-Field Solution for Critical Behavior of Signed Networks in Competitive Balance Theory
R. Masoumi, F. Oloomi, A. Kargaran +2
Competitive balance model has been proposed as an extension to the balance model to address the conflict of interests in signed networks arXiv:2001.04664 . In this model two differ…
Quartic Balance Theory: Global Minimum With Imbalanced Triangles
A. Kargaran, M. Ebrahimi, M. Riazi +2
Balance theory proposed by Heider for the first time modeled triplet interaction in a signed network, stating that relationships between two people, friendship or enmity, is depend…
