Year of Graduation: 2021

In this final qualifying paper, the object of development is a software package for constructing and visualizing the social graph of a social network user. The purpose of the paper is to implement a software package that searches for an account in the social networks VKontakte and Odnoklassniki using minimal information about the user. Also, the software package implements the social graph model based on the user's list of friends. In the course of the final qualifying work, elements of graph theory, methods of visualizing social graphs were studied. In addition, a software package was developed in as a web application, the result of work is the user's social graph in vector format. The result of this final qualifying paper is the social graph of the user of the social network VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. This graph clearly shows how the friends of a given user are divided into groups. During experimental testing, it was revealed that friends of VKontakte users have a more visual grouping than friends of a user of the Odnoklassniki social network. The results of this final qualifying work in the future can be used, both from the point of view of social sciences and from the point of view of mathematical sciences. Number of illustrations 36, number of tables 3, number of sources 37, volume 75 pages
