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:

    We can only proselytize fresh meat, putrid meat begins to have strong convictions of its own.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    When Death to either shall come—
    I pray it be first to me.
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
