Polarization and multiscale structural balance in signed networks

Abstract Polarization, or a division into mutually hostile groups, is a common feature of social systems. It is studied in Structural Balance Theory in terms of semicycles in signed networks. However, enumerating semicycles is computationally expensive, so approximations are often needed. Here we in...
