SMALL WORLD NETWORKS

How do information propagate among people ? How come rumor, gossip travel so fast ? How does information flow in an organization ? If we learn models of information diffusion, can we regulate or change the flow ? Small world networks and some other models like threshold models, random graphs try to model these phenomenon.

Two important properties of diffusion models are

  • Clustering property

  • Short path length property
