- Abstract:
-
The weak structural balance (WSB) theory is suitable to solve the weak structure balance problem of most signed networks, and it is an NP-hard problem. Here a WSB evolutionary algorithm (WSB-EA) is proposed, which computes the global unbalanced degree of signed network based on evolutionary algorithm. In this method, the energy function of WSB theory is used as the fitness function. First, a heuristic method is used to initialize the population. After the tournament selection, single crossing, single point variation, and local search, the optimal solution is obtained after a finite number of iterations. The algorithm involves a storage of large signed network and incremental calculation. Through several experiments, the weak unbalanced degree of four small signed networks and two large signed networks are derived from WSB-EA algorithm. Compared with other algorithms, the WSB-EA algorithm can converge to the optimal solution faster and has a higher robustness.
