Numerous works have been proposed to generate random graphs preserving the same properties as real-life large scale networks. However, many real networks are better represented by hypergraphs. Few models for generating random hypergraphs…

We propose a simple model of social network formation that parameterizes the tendency to establish acquaintances by the relative distance in a representative social space. By means of analytical calculations and numerical simulations, we…

With the recent explosion of publicly available biological data, the analysis of networks has gained significant interest. In particular, recent promising results in Neuroscience show that the way neurons and areas of the brain are…

This article presents a study that compares detected structural communities in a coauthorship network to the socioacademic characteristics of the scholars that compose the network. The coauthorship network was created from the bibliographic…

The role of weight on the weighted networks is investigated by studying the effect of weight on community structures. We use weighted modularity $Q^w$ to evaluate the partitions and Weighted Extremal Optimization algorithm to detect…

Hypergraphs, describing networks where interactions take place among any number of units, are a natural tool to model many real-world social and biological systems. In this work we propose a principled framework to model the organization of…

Communities are an important feature of social networks. In fact, it seems that communities are necessary for a social network to be efficient. However, there exist very few formal studies of the actual role of communities in social…

Community detection in weighted networks has been a popular topic in recent years. However, while there exist several flexible methods for estimating communities in weighted networks, these methods usually assume that the number of…

Networked structure emerged from a wide range of fields such as biological systems, World Wide Web and technological infrastructure. A deeply insight into the topological complexity of these networks has been gained. Some works start to pay…

We study a social network consisting of over $10^4$ individuals, with a degree distribution exhibiting two power scaling regimes separated by a critical degree $k_{\rm crit}$, and a power law relation between degree and local clustering. We…

We study the detailed growth of a social networking site with full temporal information by examining the creation process of each friendship relation that can collectively lead to the macroscopic properties of the network. We first study…

In most networks, the connection between a pair of nodes is the result of their mutual affinity and attachment. In this letter, we will propose a Mutual Attraction Model to characterize weighted evolving networks. By introducing the initial…

In the last few years many real-world networks have been found to show a so-called community structure organization. Much effort has been devoted in the literature to develop methods and algorithms that can efficiently highlight this hidden…

We develop an algorithm to detect community structure in complex networks. The algorithm is based on spectral methods and takes into account weights and links orientations. Since the method detects efficiently clustered nodes in large…

In this paper, we propose a self-learning mutual selection model to characterize weighted evolving networks. By introducing the self-learning probability $p$ and the general mutual selection mechanism, which is controlled by the parameter…

Relationships form the core of connected learning. In this study, we apply and extend social network analysis methods to uncover the layered network structure of relationships among Fanfiction.net authors and reviewers. Fanfiction.net, one…

Large-scale human social network structure is typically inferred from digital trace samples of online social media platforms or mobile communication data. Instead, here we investigate the social network structure of a complete population,…

It has been discovered recently that many social, biological and ecological systems have the so-called small-world and scale-free features, which has provoked new research interest in the studies of various complex networks. Yet, most…

Community detection in online social networks is typically based on the analysis of the explicit connections between users, such as "friends" on Facebook and "followers" on Twitter. But online users often have hundreds or even thousands of…

We use network theory to study topological features in the hierarchical clustering of dark matter halos. We use public halo catalogs from cosmological N-body simulations and construct tree graphs that connect halos within main halo systems.…
