20.500.12556/DKUM-88641 Segregation dynamics driven by network leaders Network segregation - a critical problem in real-life networks - can reveal the emergence of conflicts or signal an impending collapse of the whole system. However, the strong heterogeneity of such networks and the various definitions for key nodes continue to pose challenges that limit our ability to foresee segregation and to determine the main drivers behind it. In this paper, we show that a multi-agent leader-follower consensus system can be utilized to define a new index, named leadership, to identify key leaders in real-life networks. And then, this paper explores the emergence of network segregation that is driven by these leaders based on the removal or the rewiring of the relations between different nodes in agreement with their contribution distance. We finally show that the observed leaders-driven segregation dynamics reveals the dynamics of heterogeneous attributes that critically influence network structure and its segregation. Thus, this paper provides a theoretical method to study complex social interactions and their roles in network segregation, which ultimately leads to a closed-form explanation for the emergence of imbalanced network structure from an evolutionary perspective. complex networks network segregation multi-agent leader–follower consensus system key leaders identification leader segregation social physics kompleksna omrežja segregacija omrežja identifikacija ključnih voditeljev voditelj segregacija fizika družbe true false true Institute of Physics Publishing, Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-05-17 03:20:25 2024-07-08 12:34:44 2024-07-09 03:49:42 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 1-11 Št. 5, št. članka 053007 Letn. 24 May 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2022-01-18 2022-04-08 2022-05-05 53 106415619 10.1088/1367-2630/ac65a7 1367-2630 Wang-2022-Segregation_dynamics_driven_by_netwo.pdf Wang-2022-Segregation_dynamics_driven_by_netwo.pdf 1 6623256AC8809F43EF9DCFA3A8B248E2 d4ab1df39113c40452e0ec6ae34861ffcbb04be5e503e1347cd40334219b51d9 1bfdc058-3d15-11ef-b3e4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181237 https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ac65a7 0 7fceaeb7-3d15-11ef-b3e4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181239 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
