Abstract
In this paper, we generalize the iterated local transitivity (ILT) model for online social networks for signed networks. Signed networks focus on the type of relations (friendship or enmity) between the vertices (members of online social networks). The ILT model for signed networks provide an insight into how networks react to the addition of clone vertex. In this model, at each time step t and for already existing vertex x, a new vertex (clone) \(x'\) is added which joins to x and neighbors of x. The sign of new edge \(yx', \ y \in N[x]\) neighborhood of x is defined by calculating the number of positive and negative neighbors of x. We also discuss properties such as balance and clusterability, sign-compatibility and C-sign-compatibility.
