Paper Abstract:
|
We calculate the entropy of a robust social network hence the degree of robustness of such social network. We define the
network configuration state as the degree of loops or cycles exiting in the social network. A probability distribution
function is found for the degree of the loops. Hence, the entropy of the social network is evaluated using the calculated
degree of loops distribution. The entropy of the studied social network has an average of 2 for different network sizes. |
