While renormalization groups are fundamental in physics, renormalization of complex networks remains vague in its conceptual definition and methodology. Here, we propose a novel strategy to renormalize complex networks. Rather than…

Although the spectra of random networks have been studied for a long time, the influence of network topology on the dense limit of network spectra remains poorly understood. By considering the configuration model of networks with four…

Spatial random graphs capture several important properties of real-world networks. We prove quenched results for the continuum space version of scale-free percolation introduced in [DW18]. This is an undirected inhomogeneous random graph…

The impact of inhomogeneous arrangement of nodes in space on network organization cannot be neglected in most of real-world scale-free networks. Here, we wish to suggest a model for a geographical network with nodes embedded in a fractal…

Within the conventional statistical physics framework, we study critical phenomena in a class of configuration network models with hidden variables controlling links between pairs of nodes. We find analytical expressions for the average…

We investigate a growing network model that combines preferential and uniform attachment with two distinct mechanisms of edge deletion. In addition to the usual uniform probability edge deletion, we introduce a novel node-based rule in…

We study by analytical methods and large scale simulations a dynamical model for the spreading of epidemics in complex networks. In networks with exponentially bounded connectivity we recover the usual epidemic behavior with a threshold…

We study mean-field inclusion processes with an additional slow phase, in which particle interactions occur at a vanishing rate proportional to the inverse system size. In the thermodynamic limit, such systems exhibit condensation at high…

There is great interest in predicting rare and extreme events in complex systems, and in particular, understanding the role of network topology in facilitating such events. In this work, we show that degree dispersion -- the fact that the…

We consider a system of q diffusing particle species A_1,A_2,...,A_q that are all equivalent under a symmetry operation. Pairs of particles may annihilate according to A_i + A_j -> 0 with reaction rates k_{ij} that respect the symmetry, and…

In a recursive way and by including a parameter, we introduce a family of deterministic scale-free networks. The resulting networks exhibit small-world effects. We calculate the exact results for the degree exponent, the clustering…
