Hypergraphs provide a natural framework to model higher-order interactions in scientific, social, and biological systems. Hypergraph neural networks (HGNNs) aim to learn from such data, yet it remains unclear which higher-order structures…

Multigraphs are graphs in which multiple links between pairs of nodes are allowed, whereas they are forbidden in simple graphs, the latter being widely used in network science. Simple graphs generated by the configuration model have served…
