A Topology Called Clan. Its Immersion In Social Sciences

Abstract

In our latter research works we have attempted to introduce ourselves into studies on combinatory pre-topologies and topologies in the hope of finding theoretical and technical elements that are susceptible for allowing us to draw up models and algorithms that are capable of treating economic and management phenomena arising in the field of uncertainty. The proposal we are presenting on this occasion is aimed at bringing to light the links that join pre-topological and topological spaces with certain models, which under the generic name of clan, have been successfully used in the resolution of problems within the sphere of social sciences. All of this in the hope of being able to offer researchers interested in a panorama that allows for expanding, generalising or creating flexibility for the instruments that are available for treating complex systems. The examples that are included in the text aim at the objective of making their reading easier at the same time illustrating situations that frequently arise in reality. The adaptability of the schemes we show should allow for their use in the extensive field where relations exist between people and social groups
