Abstract
In online social network (OSN), the trust evidence in the paths which is built between the immediate trustful users should
be considered to evaluate trust from one user to another user. There are some paths which may overlap with each other
leading to path dependency. A characteristic called high clustering in online social network makes the path dependency
more common. Another challenge is the decay of trust in each node while propagation. Path dependency problem and
trust decay problem is analyzed and converted in to generalized network flow problem. We propose a trust evaluation
scheme viz.,Gain Factor trust, in which we address path dependency using network flow and model decay of trust with
fixed value leakage.
Keywords: Online social network (OSN), trust evaluation, path dependency.
