Triadic Closure - Strong Triadic Closure Property and Local Bridges

Strong Triadic Closure Property and Local Bridges

Strong Triadic Closure Property is that if a node has strong ties to two neighbors, then these neighbors must have at least a weak tie between them. A local bridge occurs, on the other hand, when a node is acting as a gatekeeper between two neighboring nodes who are not otherwise connected. In a network that follows the Strong Triadic Closure Property, one of the ties between nodes involved in a local bridge needs to be a weak tie.

Famous quotes containing the words strong, property, local and/or bridges:

    These are the clouds about the fallen sun,
    The majesty that shuts his burning eye:
    The weak lay hand on what the strong has done,
    Till that be tumbled that was lifted high
    And discord follow upon unison....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 15:13.

    Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one’s privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme. For example, men could be imported from the developing countries, many parts of which are suffering from a man excess, at least in relation to local food supply.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    to-morrow it seem
    Like the empty words of a dream
    Remembered on waking.
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
