Interplay between tie strength and neighbourhood topology in complex
networks: Granovetter's theory and beyond
Granovetter's weak ties theory is a very important sociological theory according to which a correlation between edge weight and the network's topology should exist. More specifically, the neighbourhood overlap of two nodes connected by an edge should be positively correlated with edge weight (tie strength). However, some real social networks …
