The network of contacts in space-filling disk packings, such as the Apollonian packing, are examined. These networks provide an interesting example of spatial scale-free networks, where the topology reflects the broad distribution of disk…
Many real networks present a bounded scale-free behavior with a connectivity cut-off due to physical constraints or a finite network size. We study epidemic dynamics in bounded scale-free networks with soft and hard connectivity cut-offs.…
The concept of scale-free networks has been widely applied across natural and physical sciences. Many claims are made about the properties of these networks, even though the concept of scale-free is often vaguely defined. We present tools…
Topological phases of matter remain a focus of interest due to their unique properties -- fractionalisation, ground state degeneracy, and exotic excitations. While some of these properties can occur in systems of free fermions, their…
We study a model for a statistical network formed by interactions between its nodes and links. Each node can be in one of two states (Ising spin up or down) and the node-link interaction facilitates linking between the like nodes. For high…
This article addresses the degree distribution of subnetworks, namely the number of links between the nodes in each subnetwork and the remainder of the structure (cond-mat/0408076). The transformation from a subnetwork-partitioned model to…
In the paper, we study fluctuations over several ensembles of maximum-entropy random networks. We derive several fluctuation-dissipation relations characterizing susceptibilities of different networks to changes in external fields. In the…
A network is formed using the $N$ sites of an one-dimensional lattice in the shape of a ring as nodes and each node with the initial degree $k_{in}=2$. $N$ links are then introduced to this network, each link starts from a distinct node,…
In this paper we show how The Free Energy Principle (FEP) can provide an explanation for why real-world networks deviate from scale-free behaviour, and how these characteristic deviations can emerge from constraints on information…
A variety of scale-free networks have been created since the pioneer work by A.-L. Barab\'{a}si and R. Albert. All this networks are homogeneous since they are composed of the same kind of nodes. In the realistic world, however, one element…
The Ising model in clustered scale-free networks has been studied by Monte Carlo simulations. These networks are characterized by a degree distribution of the form P(k) ~ k^(-gamma) for large k. Clustering is introduced in the networks by…
The present paper reports on our effort to characterize vortical interactions in complex fluid flows through the use of network analysis. In particular, we examine the vortex interactions in two-dimensional decaying isotropic turbulence and…
It has recently been discovered that many biological systems, when represented as graphs, exhibit a scale-free topology. One such system is the set of structural relationships among protein domains. The scale-free nature of this and other…
Networks have been used to model many real-world phenomena to better understand the phenomena and to guide experiments in order to predict their behavior. Since incorrect models lead to incorrect predictions, it is vital to have a correct…
The structure of complex networks in previous research has been widely described as scale-free networks generated by the preferential attachment model. However, the preferential attachment model does not take into account the detailed…
The effect of randomness on critical behavior is a crucial subject in condensed matter physics due to the the presence of impurity in any real material. We presently probe the critical behaviour of the antiferromagnetic (AF) Ising model on…
We study tolerance and topology of random scale-free networks under attack and defense strategies that depend on the degree k of the nodes. This situation occurs, for example, when the robustness of a node depends on its degree or in an…
In this chapter, we derive and analyse models for consensus dynamics on hypergraphs. As we discuss, unless there are nonlinear node interaction functions, it is always possible to rewrite the system in terms of a new network of effective…
We investigate how the scaling behavior of finite systems at magnetic first-order transitions (FOTs) with relaxational dynamics changes in correspondence of various boundary conditions. As a theoretical laboratory we consider the…
We study the dynamics of the contact-process, one of the simplest nonequilibrium stochastic processes, taking place on a scale-free network. We consider the network topology as annealed, i.e. all links are rewired at each microscopic time…
