    Centrality in dynamic competition networks Anthony Bonato1, Nicole Eikmeier2, David F. Gleich3, and Rehan Malik1 1 Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 2 Grinnell College, Grinnell, IA, USA 3 Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA Abstract. Competition networks are formed via adversarial interactions between actors. The Dynamic Competition Hypothesis predicts that influential actors in competition networks should have a large number of common out-neighbors with many other nodes. We empirically study this idea as a centrality score and find the measure predictive of importance in several real-world networks including food webs, conflict networks, and voting data from Survivor. 1 Introduction While social networks are often studied from the perspective of positive interactions such as friend- ship or followers, the impact of negative social interaction on their structure and evolution cannot be ignored. Structural balance theory posits positive and negative ties between actors in social networks, and assumes such signed networks will stabilize so that triples of actors are either all mutually friends or possess common adversaries; see [12], and [9] for a modern treatment. The pre- diction of the signs of edges in a social network was previously studied [15,18,21]. Further, negative interactions as a model for edges was studied in the context of negatively correlated stocks in mar- ket graphs [4], and in the spatial location of cities as a model to predict the rise of conflicts and violence [11]. Even in the highly cited Zachary Karate club network [22], the negative interaction between the administrator and instructor was the impetus for the split of the club participants into two communities.

  • Ambassador Dumisani Shadrack Kumalo 16 September 1947 – 20 January 2019
    SPECIAL OFFICIAL FUNERAL SERVICE FOR Ambassador Dumisani Shadrack Kumalo 16 September 1947 – 20 January 2019 Saturday, 26 January 2019 Obituary of Dumisani Shadrack Kumalo Ambassador Dumisani Shadrack Kumalo was born in Kwambunda village, on the banks of the Blood River in Kingsley, KwaZulu-Natal, to Khelina Kumalo (née Mbatha) and Andries Kumalo on 16 September 1947. He was the fifth child of 11 siblings. After the family moved to Evaton, south of Johannesburg, he attended Evaton Community School and later Wilberforce College, also in Evaton. He acquired a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Africa and a Master’s degree from Indiana University in the United States (US). Ambassador Kumalo spent much of his childhood in Evaton and later moved to Soweto to stay with his elder brother and the only remaining sibling, Henry, who raised him like his son. Mtungwa cut his political teeth as a student activist. He pursued his fight for freedom, justice and equality for all when he took up journalism, and was one of the founding members of the Union of Black Journalists. This was an epoch when journalists drank hard and lived fast. He slipped into that lifestyle when he joined Jim Bailey’s Post and Drum magazine in 1967, and later joined the Sunday Times. Fortunately for him, our country and the world, he stopped drinking on 31 March 1975 and had he lived, he would be celebrating his 44th year of sobriety on 1 April 2019. It was during this time that he also became an activist in the South African Student Organisation, where he found a platform to contribute and add his voice to the fight against apartheid.
