By departing from the classical approaches and results in the literature, this work shows that it is possible to handle more complex and realistic nonlinear models where either the traditional approaches fail or lead to weak results. The author also develops several easily implementable algorithms, delivering excellent performance guarantees while running faster than those that exist in the literature. The study undertaken and the approaches adopted enable the analysis of the evolution of several different types of social and distributed networks, with the potential to apply to and resolve several other outstanding issues in such networks. 000780264 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 27, 2017). 000780264 650_0 $$aMultiagent systems. 000780264 650_0 $$aPotential theory (Mathematics) 000780264 650_0 $$aOnline social networks. 000780264 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319542881$$z3319542885$$w(OCoLC)970683918 000780264 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000780264 852__ $$bebk 000780264 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-54289-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000780264 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:780264$$pGLOBAL_SET 000780264 980__ $$aEBOOK 000780264 980__ $$aBIB 000780264 982__ $$aEbook 000780264 983__ $$aOnline 000780264 994__ $$a92$$bISE
