We study the behavior of the eigenvectors associated with the smallest eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of temporal networks. We consider the multilayer representation of temporal networks, i.e. a set of networks linked through ordinal…

A network representation is useful for describing the structure of a large variety of complex systems. However, most real and engineered systems have multiple subsystems and layers of connectivity, and the data produced by such systems is…

We introduce a framework to intertwine dynamical processes of different nature, each with its own distinct network topology, using a multilayer network approach. As an example of collective phenomena emerging from the interactions of…

Convolutional layers within graph neural networks operate by aggregating information about local neighbourhood structures; one common way to encode such substructures is through random walks. The distribution of these random walks evolves…
