Complexity of a Microblogging Social Network in the Framework of Modern Nonlinear Science

Abstract

Recent developments in nonlinear science have caused the formation of a new paradigm called the paradigm of complexity. The self-organized criticality theory constitutes the foundation of this paradigm. To estimate the complexity of a microblogging social network, we used one of the conceptual schemes of the paradigm, namely, the system of key signs of complexity of the external manifestations of the system irrespective of its internal structure. Our research revealed all the key signs of complexity of the time series of a number of microposts. We offer a new model of a microblogging social network as a nonlinear random dynamical system with additive noise in three-dimensional phase space. Implementations of this model in the adiabatic approximation possess all the key signs of complexity, making the model a reasonable evolutionary model for a microblogging social network. The use of adiabatic approximation allows us to model a microblogging social network as a nonlinear random dynamical system with multiplicative noise with the power-law in one-dimensional phase space.

“…In general, symmetry is widespread in chaotic systems, and system ( 4) is invariant under the coordinate transformation (x, y, z, w, u, φ) ⟶ (− x, − y, z, w, − u, − φ) and has the same symmetry as the original 5D system (1).…”

“…e in-depth study of nonlinear science not only has important theoretical value to the academic community, but also has a broad prospect for the practical application in life [1]. Chaos is one of the most important subjects in nonlinear motion, which creates a new situation of nonlinear science.…”

“…Kinetic equations and a detailed physical substantiation of the relations between its parameters are given in our paper [63]. e construction of the three-parameter self-organization scheme was based on the analogy between the mechanisms of functioning of a single-mode laser and the microblogging social network.…”
