Identifying super-spreaders can be framed as a subtask of the influence maximisation problem. It seeks to pinpoint agents within a network that, if selected as single diffusion seeds, disseminate information most effectively. Multilayer…
We consider the $k$-core decomposition of network models and Internet graphs at the autonomous system (AS) level. The $k$-core analysis allows to characterize networks beyond the degree distribution and uncover structural properties and…
Influence propagation in social networks is a subject of growing interest. A relevant issue in those networks involves the identification of key influencers. These players have an important role on viral marketing strategies and message…
Identifying influential spreaders in complex networks is a crucial problem which relates to wide applications. Many methods based on the global information such as $k$-shell and PageRank have been applied to rank spreaders. However, most of…
In recent years numerous attempts to understand the human brain were undertaken from a network point of view. A network framework takes into account the relationships between the different parts of the system and enables to examine how…
The network of networks(NON) research is focused on studying the properties of n interdependent networks which is ubiquitous in the real world. Identifying the influential nodes in the network of networks is theoretical and practical…
We generalize the theory of k-core percolation on complex networks to k-core percolation on multiplex networks, where k=(k_a, k_b, ...). Multiplex networks can be defined as networks with a set of vertices but different types of edges, a,…
Influence propagation in networks has enjoyed fruitful applications and has been extensively studied in literature. However, only very limited preliminary studies tackled the challenges in handling highly dynamic changes in real networks.…
A core is said to be a group of central and densely connected nodes which governs the overall behavior of a network. Profiling this meso--scale structure currently relies on a limited number of methods which are often complex, and have…
We uncover the global organization of clustering in real complex networks. As it happens with other fundamental properties of networks such as the degree distribution, we find that real networks are neither completely random nor ordered…
Core-periphery structure, the arrangement of a network into a dense core and sparse periphery, is a versatile descriptor of various social, biological, and technological networks. In practice, different core-periphery algorithms are often…
We introduce and use k-shell decomposition to investigate the topology of the Internet at the AS level. Our analysis separates the Internet into three sub-components: (a) a nucleus which is a small (~100 nodes) very well connected globally…
Influential nodes in complex networks are typically defined as those nodes that maximize the asymptotic reach of a spreading process of interest. However, for practical applications such as viral marketing and online information spreading,…
Intermediate-scale (or `meso-scale') structures in networks have received considerable attention, as the algorithmic detection of such structures makes it possible to discover network features that are not apparent either at the local scale…
Identifying influential node groups in complex networks is crucial for optimizing information dissemination, epidemic control, and viral marketing. However, traditional centrality-based methods often focus on individual nodes, resulting in…
Information flow, opinion, and epidemics spread over structured networks. When using individual node centrality indicators to predict which nodes will be among the top influencers or spreaders in a large network, no single centrality has…
The k-shell decomposition plays an important role in unveiling the structural properties of a network, i.e., it is widely adopted to find the densest part of a network across a broad range of scientific fields, including Internet,…
How to identify influential nodes in social networks is of theoretical significance, which relates to how to prevent epidemic spreading or cascading failure, how to accelerate information diffusion, and so on. In this Letter, we make an…
Traders in a stock market exchange stock shares and form a stock trading network. Trades at different positions of the stock trading network may contain different information. We construct stock trading networks based on the limit order…
Social networks constitute a new platform for information propagation, but its success is crucially dependent on the choice of spreaders who initiate the spreading of information. In this paper, we remove edges in a network at random and…
