A dynamical system is controllable if by imposing appropriate external signals on a subset of its nodes, it can be driven from any initial state to any desired state in finite time. Here we study the impact of various network…

The statistical mechanical approach to complex networks is the dominant paradigm in describing natural and societal complex systems. The study of network properties, and their implications on dynamical processes, mostly focus on locally…

Nodes in networks may have one or more functions that determine their role in the system. As opposed to local proximity, which captures the local context of nodes, the role identity captures the functional "role" that nodes play in a…

Most real-world networks are embedded in latent geometries. If a node in a network is found in the vicinity of another node in the latent geometry, the two nodes have a disproportionately high probability of being connected by a link. The…

We studied the effects of spatial configuration on collective dynamics in a nearest-neighbour and diffusively coupled lattice of heterogeneous nodes. The networks contained nodes from two populations, which differed in their intrinsic…

By dividing potential energy landscapes into basins of attractions surrounding minima and linking those basins that are connected by transition state valleys, a network description of energy landscapes naturally arises. These networks are…

In human and animal groups, social interactions often rely on the transmission of information via visual observation of the behavior of others. These visual interactions are governed by the laws of physics and sensory limits. Individuals…

We present simulation results for the contact process on regular, cubic networks that are composed of a one-dimensional lattice and a set of long edges with unbounded length. Networks with different sets of long edges are considered, that…

Networks of disparate phenomena-- be it the global ecology, human social institutions, within the human brain, or in micro-scale protein interactions-- exhibit broadly consistent architectural features. To explain this, we propose a new…

We suggest a method for embedding scale-free networks, with degree distribution P(k) k^-lambda, in regular Euclidean lattices. The embedding is driven by a natural constraint of minimization of the total length of the links in the system.…

We introduce the concept of boundaries of a complex network as the set of nodes at distance larger than the mean distance from a given node in the network. We study the statistical properties of the boundaries nodes of complex networks. We…

Dimension is a fundamental property of objects and the space in which they are embedded. Yet ideal notions of dimension, as in Euclidean spaces, do not always translate to physical spaces, which can be constrained by boundaries and…
