Abstract

In complete graphs with signed links, the structural balance means that the graph nodes are divided into two groups, internally friendly (positive links) and mutually hostile (negative links). We present a simple formula which, for any initial condition, allows to reach the structural balance in one time step. The formula works for complete graphs of odd number of nodes.
