The concept of nestedness, in particular for ecological and economical networks, has been introduced as a structural characteristic of real interacting systems. We suggest that the nestedness is in fact another way to express a mesoscale…

We propose a statistical model for graphs with a core-periphery structure. To do this we define a precise notion of what it means for a graph to have this structure, based on the sparsity properties of the subgraphs of core and periphery…

Core-periphery detection aims to separate the nodes of a complex network into two subsets: a core that is densely connected to the entire network and a periphery that is densely connected to the core but sparsely connected internally. The…

Core-periphery (CP) structure is an important meso-scale network property where nodes group into a small, densely interconnected {core} and a sparse {periphery} whose members primarily connect to the core rather than to each other. While…
