  • On the measurement of structural balance

    Open AccessFrank HararyARTICLESystems Research and Behavioral…2007Citada por: 34Referencias: 3

    If in a group of people every one loves his friends' friends and also his enemies' enemies and hates his friends' enemies and his enemies' friends, the “signed graph” representing the network of relations will be balanced. The degree of balance of a graph, then, provides a sociometric index which may be of importance in constructing theories of group structure and behavior. There are several ways of defining the degree of balance, and the group h…

  • The Cohesiveness of Blocks In Social Networks

    Douglas R White, Frank HararyARTICLESociological Methodology2001Citada por: 35Referencias: 11

    This study shows several ways that formal graph theoretic statements map patterns of network ties into substantive hypotheses about social cohesion. If network cohesion is enhanced by multiple connections between members of a group, for example, then the higher the global minimum of the number of independent paths that connect every pair of nodes in the network, the higher the social cohesion. The cohesiveness of a group is also measured by the e…

  • Applications of the Minimum Spanning Tree Problem to Network Analysis

    Open AccessPer Hage, Frank HararyCHAPTERKinship, Networks, and Exchange1998

    From a mathematical perspective many problems in anthropology concerned with the analysis of structures, patterns, and configurations are combinatorial in nature. There are three types of combinatorial problems: The existence problem asks , “Is there a structure of a certain type?” The counting problem asks , “How many such structures are there?” The optimization problem asks , “Which is the best structure according to some criterion?” (Roberts 1…

  • Tattooing, Gender and Social Stratification in Micro-Polynesia

    Per Hage, Frank Harary et al.ARTICLEJournal of the Royal Anthropologica…1996

    Gell's combinatorial analysis of variations in tattooing practices and social organization in Polynesia is shown to be incomplete. Our purpose is to revise and generalize Gell's analysis and extend it to include the historically related societies of nuclear Micronesia. The discovery of the missing Micronesian variations has important implications for comparative studies of symbolism and social stratification in Oceania, and illustrates the advant…

  • The Minimum Spanning Tree Problem in Archaeology

    Open AccessPer Hage, Frank Harary et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1996Referencias: 13

    The minimum spanning tree problem is a well-known problem of combinatorial optimization. It was independently discovered in archaeology by Renfrew and Sterud in their method of close proximity analysis. Unlike traditional methods of seriation, this method permits branching structures that reveal clustering in archaeological data. Identifying close proximity analysis as the minimum spanning tree problem permits a more efficient means of computatio…

  • Hierarchical Opposition

    Open AccessPer Hage, Frank Harary et al.ARTICLEOceania1995

    The purpose of this paper is to give a simple, clear and precise graph theoretic characterization of Dumont's controversial and ambiguous concept of hierarchical opposition. The analysis has special importance for Austronesianists who have independently discovered and applied the concept of hierarchical opposition on several different occasions

  • Structural Models in Anthropology

    Open AccessPer Hage, Frank HararyBOOKStructural Models in Anthropology1984Citada por: 18

    Hage and Harary present a comprehensive introduction to the use of graph theory in social and cultural anthropology. Using a wide range of empirical examples, the authors illustrate how graph theory can provide a language for expressing in a more exact fashion concepts and notions that can only be imperfectly rendered verbally. They show how graphs, digraphs and networks, together with their associated matrices and duality laws, facilitate the st…

  • On the Structure of International Disdain

    Open AccessFrank HararyARTICLEPsychological Reports1984

    A binary relation R is a collection of ordered pairs (x,y). The relation R of international disdain is defined operationally by means of the joking relationship which occurs frequently among primitive tribes studied by anthropologists (1). For example the ordered pair (USA, Poland) is in R since i n America, one frequently hears the derogatory joke, Q1: How many Poles does it cake ro change a light bulb? A l : Three. One holds the light bulb and …

    Open AccessFrank Harary, Mark F BatellARTICLEHuman Relations1981Citada por: 2Referencias: 4

    Communication conflict is described in terms of a graph theoretic model in-volving demiarcs. A classification of communication conflict situations is proposed leading to an analysis of the specific nature of communication breakdown. A hypothetical marriage counseling session is analyzed in the framework of this model

  • Matrix measures for transitivity and balance

    Frank Harary, Helene J KommelARTICLEJournal of Mathematical Sociology1979Referencias: 5

    Our object is to develop matrix formulas for measuring transitivity in digraphs and balance in signed graphs or digraphs. The transitivity ratio is introduced giving the probability that a 2‐step path will be completed to a transitive triple. As it is not feasible to enumerate all cycles in a signed graph or digraph, restrictive degrees of balance are considered which involve only small cycles
