Fig 2. Typical (median) number of iterations Ttyp -in time steps- to converge to a balanced configuration as a function of the number N of agents in the system for p = 0.1.
The upper and lower curves correspond to the pure Antal (LTD) and the Constrained Triad Dynamics (CTD) models, respectively. The other three curves correspond to the BC-PF dynamics with ε = 0, ε = 0.1 and ε = 0.2, respectively. Each point represents the median value of 1000 different runs departing from random initial conditions with equal proportion of positive and negative links.
