Nodes: individuals
Links: social relationship (family/work/friends/etc.)
Social networks: Many individuals with diverse social interactions between them.
Social networks
• Contacts and InfluencesPoll & Kochen (1958)– How great is the chance that two people chosen at random from the population will have a friend in common?– How far are people aware of the available lines of contact?
• The Small-World Problem – Milgram (1967)
– How many intermediaries are needed to move a letter from person A to person B through a chain of acquaintances?
– Letter-sending experiment: starting in Nebraska/Kansas,with a target person in Boston.
Social networks: Milgram’s experiment 160 letters: From Wichita (Kansas) and Omaha (Nebraska)
to Sharon (Mass)
Milgram, Psych Today 2, 60 (1967)
If you do not know the target person on a personal basis, do not try to contact him directly. Instead, mail this folder to a personal acquaintance who is more likely who is more likely than youthan you to know the target person.
¡El mundo es un pañuelo!C’est petit le monde !!What a Small-World !
“Six degrees
of separation”
The Small World concept in simple terms describes the fact despite their often large size, in most networks there is a
relatively short path between any two nodes.

• Graph: a pair of sets G = {P,E} where P is a set of nodes, and E is a set of edges that connect 2 elements of P.
• Degree of a node: the number of edges incident on the node
i
Degree of node i = 5
Type of Edges
• Directed• edges have a direction, only go one way
(citations, one way streets)
• Undirected• no direction (committee membership, two-
way streets)
• Weighted • Not all edges are equal. (Friendships)
• Degree• Number of edges connected to a node.
• In-degree• Number of incoming edges.
• Out-degree• Number of outgoing edges.
Network parameters DiameterMaximum distance between any pair of nodes.
Characteristic path length Connectivity Number of neighbours of a given node: k := degree. P(k) := Probability of having k neighbours. Clustering Are neighbours of a node also neighbours among them?
Characteristic path length GLOBAL property
• is the number of edges in the shortest path between vertices i and j (geodesic path).
( , )i jL
• The characteristic path length L of a graph is the average of the for every possible pair (i,j)( , )i jL

Networks with small values of L are said to have the “Small World property”

Tree Network
Random Network:The typical distance between any two nodes in a random graph scales as the logarithm of the number of nodes. Then the Small World concept is not an indication of a particular organizing principle.
Random graphs – Erdos & Renyi (1960)• Start with N nodes and for each pair of nodes, with
probability p, add a link between them.
• For large N, there is a giant connected component if the average connectivity (number of links per node) is larger than 1.
• The average path length L in the giant component scales as L ln N.
Minimal number of links one needs to follow to go from one node to another, on average.
Erdös-Renyi model (1960)
Poisson distribution
Many properties in these graphs appear quite suddenly, at a threshold value of p = PER(N)
-If PER ~ c / N with c < 1, then almost all vertices belong to isolated trees.
-Cycles of all orders appear at PER ~ 1/ N

Random Graphs Model
Given N nodes connect each pair with probability p:
– P(k) ~ Poisson distribution
– <k> = pN.
– Most nodes degree ~ <k>.
– <L> = log(N) / log(<k>).
– Small World property

Random graph
• For many years typical explanation for Small-World property was random graphs– Low diameter: expected distance between two nodes is log<k>N, where <k> is the average outdegree
and N the number of nodes.– When pairs or vertices are selected uniformly at random they are connected by a short path with high
probability.• But there are some inaccuracies
– If A and B have a common friend C it is more likely that they themselves will be friends! (clustering).– Many real world networks exhibit this clustering property. Random networks are NOT clustered.
Clustering coefficient
Local propierty:
C(v) =# of links between neighbors
n(n-1)/2
Clustering: My friends will know each other with high probability!(typical example: social networks)
C(v) = 4/6
C is the average over all C(v)
