Within network analysis, the analytical maximum entropy framework has been very successful for different tasks as network reconstruction and filtering. In a recent paper, the same framework was used for link-prediction for monopartite…

Identifying the nodes that must be directly controlled to steer a network along a desired trajectory remains an open problem for digraphs, and even more so for hypergraphs. In this manuscript, we investigate network systems coupled via…
