Quantifying and Qualifying Trust: Spectral Decomposition of Trust Networks

In a previous FAST paper, I presented a quantitative model of the process of trust building, and showed that trust is accumulated like wealth: the rich get richer. This explained the pervasive phenomenon of adverse selection of trust certificates, as well as the fragility of trust networks in general.

Examples. 1) fn(x) = n−1χ(0,n)(x), 2) fn(x) = χ(n,n+1)(x), 3) fn(x) = nχ[0,1/n](x), 4) L1 convergent but oscillating. Definition. pointwise convergence, uniform convergence, and convergence in Lp . Definition. We say that { fn} of measurable complex-valued functions on (X ,M ,μ) is Cauchy in measure if for ev...
