Social and Economic Networks

Networks are ubiquitous with the presence of different kinds of social, economic and information networks around us. The Internet is one of the most prominent examples of a geometric network. We also examine geometric networks from the perspective of sociologist and economist [55] . Network analysis is also attracting fundamental research by computer scientists [49] . Diffusion of information, social influence, trust, communication and cooperation between agents are heavily researched topics in e-commerce and multi-agent systems. Our probabilistic techniques are very appropriate in this case and have been largely neglected so far. While the first works on geometric networks emanated from theoretical physicists, they stay more focused on static properties of such networks and do not consider game theoretical or statistical learning (like community detection) aspects of such networks. This leaves open a range of new problems to which we will contribute.
