Identifying important actors (or nodes) in a two-mode network often remains a crucial challenge in mining, analyzing, and interpreting real-world networks. While traditional bipartite centrality indices are often used to recognize key nodes…
Random graphs have played an instrumental role in modelling real-world networks arising from the internet topology, social networks, or even protein-interaction networks within cells. Percolation, on the other hand, has been the fundamental…
We describe the critical behavior of weak multiplex percolation, a generalization of percolation to multiplex or interdependent networks. A node can determine its active or inactive status simply by referencing neighboring nodes. This is…
We compare phase transition and critical phenomena of bond percolation on Euclidean lattices, nonamenable graphs, and complex networks. On a Euclidean lattice, percolation shows a phase transition between the nonpercolating phase and…
Numerous centrality measures have been proposed to evaluate the importance of nodes in networks, yet comparative analyses of these measures remain limited. Based on 80 real-world networks, we conducted an empirical analysis of 16…
In transportation, communication, social and other real complex networks, some critical edges act a pivotal part in controlling the flow of information and maintaining the integrity of the structure. Due to the importance of critical edges…
Centrality metrics play a crucial role in network analysis, while the choice of specific measures significantly influences the accuracy of conclusions as each measure represents a unique concept of node importance. Among over 400 proposed…
Interconnected networks have been shown to be much more vulnerable to random and targeted failures than isolated ones, raising several interesting questions regarding the identification and mitigation of their risk. The paradigm to address…
In many real, directed networks, the strongly connected component of nodes which are mutually reachable is very small. This does not fit with current theory, based on random graphs, according to which strong connectivity depends on mean…
We consider the problem of distinguishing classical (Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi) percolation from explosive (Achlioptas) percolation, under noise. A statistical model of percolation is constructed allowing for the birth and death of edges as well…
Centrality is a key property of complex networks that influences the behavior of dynamical processes, like synchronization and epidemic spreading, and can bring important information about the organization of complex systems, like our brain…
Several recent studies of complex networks have suggested algorithms for locating network communities, also called modules or clusters, which are mostly defined as groups of nodes with dense internal connections. Along with the rapid…
Problems in distributed system security often map naturally to graphs. The concept of centrality assesses the importance of nodes in a graph. It is used in various applications. Cooperative game theory has also been used to create nuanced…
It has been recently shown that the percolation transition is discontinuous in Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi networks and square lattices in two dimensions under the Achlioptas Process (AP). Here, we show that when the structure is highly heterogeneous…
Link prediction is one of the most important and challenging tasks in complex network analysis, which aims to predict the likelihood of the existence of missing links based on the known information in the network. As critical topological…
It is widely believed that certain simple modifications of the random graph process lead to discontinuous phase transitions. In particular, starting with the empty graph on $n$ vertices, suppose that at each step two pairs of vertices are…

Bootstrap percolation is an often used model to study the spread of diseases, rumors, and information on sparse random graphs. The percolation process demonstrates a critical value such that the graph is either almost completely affected or…
The integrity and functionality of many real-world complex systems hinge on a small set of pivotal nodes, or influencers. In different contexts, these influencers are defined as either structurally important nodes that maintain the…
Understanding how network structure constrains and enables information processing is a central problem in the statistical mechanics of interacting systems. Here we study random networks across the structural percolation transition and…
