| Popis: | Current semigroup models of social systems assume that the system is uniform, that is all the units and all the connections in the system have the same influence. Obviously most social structures are not uniform; some units and connections between some units are more influential and important than some others. This paper initiates a development of the semigroup model of social structures that reflects this non‐uniformity by using weighted inner products in generation of interaction semigroups. |
