Abstract: Triadic closure describes the tendency for new friendships to form between individuals who already have friends in common. It has been argued heuristically that the triadic closure effect can lead to bistability in the formation of large-scale social interaction networks. Here, depending on the initial state and the transient dynamics, the system may evolve towards either of two long-time states. In this work, we study a hierarchy of network evolution models that incorporate triadic closure, building on the work of Grindrod, Higham and Parsons [Internet Mathematics, 8, 2012, 402--423]. In a macroscale regime, we show rigorously that a bimodal steady state distribution is admitted. Computational simulations will be used to support the analysis. This is joint work work with Stefano Di Giovacchino (L'Aquila) and Kostas Zygalakis (Edinburgh).
