Abstract:

Studies in social network analysis consider the behavior of a group to be equivalent to the “sum” of individual be- haviors. However, a group has to be considered as a com- plex system where emerging phenomena can appear. In this paper, a formalism is proposed to resolve this prob- lematic by modeling groups in social networks using pre- topology as a generalization of the graph theory. We also give an example of simulation using our formalism
