Abstract: By exploring the influence between dynamics and structural balance, we divide a binary group(with two nodes and a directed edge) into three categories as balanced, intermediate and unbalanced structure. On this basis, a co-evolution model considering the dynamic mechanics of both opinions and relationships is designed. Global structural balance in four basic structures are explained. In the simulation experiments over signed BA scale-free network, the impact of negative relationships on polarizing opinion, the effect of intermediate state structure, and the influences of five strategies on relaxation time are analyzed. By introducing an unbalanced cycle, two kinds of interesting results are discussed.
