DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Desmond J. Higham  (University of Edinburg
 h)\n\nAbstract: Generalized friendship paradoxes occur when\, on average
 \, our friends have more of some attribute than us. These paradoxes are 
 relevant to  many aspects of human interaction\, notably in social scien
 ce and epidemiology. I will present some new theoretical results concern
 ing the inevitability of a network centrality paradox arising\, using a 
 linear algebra perspective. I will also point out some open questions.\n
 \nJoint with Francesco Hrobat\, University of Oxford\, and Francesco Tud
 isco\, University of Edinburgh
