Abstract

In a model social network, two hubs are appointed as leaders. Consecutive cutting of links on a shortest path between them splits the network in two. Next, the network is growing again till the initial size. Both processes are cyclically repeated. We investigate the size of a cluster containing the largest hub, the degree, the clustering coefficient, the closeness centrality and the betweenness centrality of the largest hub, as dependent on the number of cycles. The results are interpreted in terms of the leader’s benefits from conflicts.
