Network theory provides a useful framework for studying interconnected systems of interacting agents. Many networked systems evolve continuously in time, but most existing methods for analyzing time-dependent networks rely on discrete or discretized time. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for studying networks that evolve in continuous time by distinguishing between interactions, which we model as discrete contacts, and \emph{ties}, which represent strengths of relationships as…

This paper investigates how the moments of the tie strength evolve with time in several models, and explores-both numerically and analytically-criteria for the emergence of a giant connected component in some of these models.

### From temporal network data to the dynamics of social relationships

• Computer Science

• 2021
This work introduces a framework to transforming temporal network data into an evolving weighted network where the weights of the links between individuals are updated at every interaction, and takes into account the interdependence of social relationships due to the finite attention capacities of individuals.

### Opinion dynamics in tie-decay networks

• Mathematics

This work formulate continuous-time Laplacian dynamics and a discrete-time DeGroot model of opinion dynamics in tie-decay networks, and it is demonstrated that the spectral gaps of these empirical networks tend to be smaller than those of the randomized and aggregate networks.

This work describes centralities in temporal networks using a supracentrality framework to study centrality trajectories, which characterize how the importances of nodes change in time, and illustrates how to adjust the coupling between time layers to tune the extent to which nodes’ centrality paths are influenced by the oldest and newest time layers.

This work encodes the continuous dependency of time into the evaluation of the epidemic threshold of an susceptible--infected--susceptible (SIS) process by studying an SIS model on tie-decay networks and demonstrates how the tie- decay features of these networks alter the outcome of disease spread.
