In the paper four semirings for solving social networks problems are constructed. The closures of the matrix of a given signed graph over balance and cluster semirings can be used to decide whether the graph is balanced or clusterable. The closure of relational matrix over geodetic semirings contains for every pair of vertices u and v the length and the number of u - v geodesics; and for geosetic semiring the length and the set of vertices on u - v geodesics. The algorithms for computing the geodetic and the geosetic closure matrix are also given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
