Partial orders for zero-sum arrays with applications to network theory

作者:

Highlights:

• We introduce several partial orders in the set of zero-sum arrays.

• This leads to theories of hierarchy and domination.

• We introduce a framework to compare power structures.

• This theory is applied to directed, acyclic networks.
