Connectivity is one of the most fundamental properties of wireless multi-hop networks. A network is said to be connected if there is a path between any pair of nodes. A convenient way to study the connectivity of a random network is by…
Many natural systems are organized as networks, in which the nodes (be they cells, individuals or populations) interact in a time-dependent fashion. The dynamic behavior of these networks depends on how these nodes are connected, which can…

Complex networks grow subject to structural constraints which affect their measurable properties. Assessing the effect that such constraints impose on their observables is thus a crucial aspect to be taken into account in their analysis. To…
