(ω_{1},ω_{2})-temporal random hyperbolic graphs

Abstract

We extend a recent model of temporal random hyperbolic graphs by allowing connections and disconnections to persist across network snapshots with different probabilities ω_{1} and ω_{2}. This extension, while conceptually simple, poses analytical challenges involving the Appell F_{1} series. Despite these challenges, we are able to analyze key properties of the model, which include the distributions of contact and intercontact durations, as well as the expected time-aggregated degree. The incorporation of ω_{1} and ω_{2} enables more flexible tuning of the average contact and intercontact durations, and of the average time-aggregated degree, providing a finer control for exploring the effect of temporal network dynamics on dynamical processes. Overall, our results provide new insights into the analysis of temporal networks and contribute to a more general representation of real-world scenarios.
