Abstract

The article presents an analysis of dynamic social network where words, nodes and edges appear and disappear through time. We study a popular virtual social network in the internet, known as Paltalk. We analyze the exact and approximated cyclic entropy variation with time with the purpose to establish the robustness of the network. In addition, we study the effect of weighed links on the analysis of such graphs.
