Description
Summary:Building of adequate dynamical models of microblogging social networks is a topical task that is of interest from both theoretical and practical aspects. Experimental and theoretical results of studies related to choice of the adequate model are presented. The choice was made between two models: a nonlinear dynamical system and a nonlinear random dynamical system. By results of the fractal analysis of observable network time series and defining their probability density function it was established that the nonlinear random dynamical system was more adequate than the nonlinear dynamical system. The character of the observable time series was also explored. The possibility that microblogging social networks can be analyzed by means of Tsallis entropy and self-organized criticality is examined.
