<p>I am interested about Social Network Analysis (SNA) with multiple links between pairs of nodes. I'm not aware of works in this area, and I am trying to find any reference in these regards. </p> <p>In particular, is there also something about SNA with negative edges, possibly multigraphs?</p>

<p>The ideas of Formal Concept Analysis may be of use to you. </p> <p>There is at least one paper on the general area "Understanding social networks using Formal Concept Analysis" Vaclav Snasel, Zdenek Horak and Ajith Abraham </p> <p><a href="http://www.softcomputing.net/wi08.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.softcomputing.net/wi08.pdf</a></p>

<p>To comment a bit on D.S. Stones' comment: I think that negative edges are very natural if you think of your graphs as oriented. In fact, this kind of objects are the very fundament of so-called cognitive maps, which have been around for quite a while now - although I cannot really judge how popular they still are, nowadays. <a href="http://sipi.usc.edu/~kosko/FCM.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://sipi.usc.edu/~kosko/FCM.pdf</a></p>
