The microscale organization of directed hypergraphs

Quintino Francesco Lotito, Alberto Vendramini, Alberto Montresor +1

Many real-world complex systems are characterized by non-pairwise -- higher-order -- interactions among system's units, and can be effectively modeled as hypergraphs. Directed hype…

Influence Maximization in Hypergraphs using Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms

Stefano Genetti, Eros Ribaga, Elia Cunegatti +2

The Influence Maximization (IM) problem is a well-known NP-hard combinatorial problem over graphs whose goal is to find the set of nodes in a network that spreads influence at most…

Patterns in temporal networks with higher-order egocentric structures

Beatriz Arregui-García, Antonio Longa, Quintino Francesco Lotito +2

The analysis of complex and time-evolving interactions like social dynamics represents a current challenge for the science of complex systems. Temporal networks stand as a suitable…

Hypergraphx: a library for higher-order network analysis

Quintino Francesco Lotito, Martina Contisciani, Caterina De Bacco +6

From social to biological systems, many real-world systems are characterized by higher-order, non-dyadic interactions. Such systems are conveniently described by hypergraphs, where…

Hyperlink communities in higher-order networks

Quintino Francesco Lotito, Federico Musciotto, Alberto Montresor +1

Many networks can be characterised by the presence of communities, which are groups of units that are closely linked. Identifying these communities can be crucial for understanding…

Exact and sampling methods for mining higher-order motifs in large hypergraphs

Quintino Francesco Lotito, Federico Musciotto, Federico Battiston +1

Network motifs are recurrent, small-scale patterns of interactions observed frequently in a system. They shed light on the interplay between the topology and the dynamics of comple…

Higher-order motif analysis in hypergraphs

Quintino Francesco Lotito, Federico Musciotto, Alberto Montresor +1

A deluge of new data on social, technological and biological networked systems suggests that a large number of interactions among system units are not limited to pairs, but rather…

A Signal-Centric Perspective on the Evolution of Symbolic Communication

Quintino Francesco Lotito, Leonardo Lucio Custode, Giovanni Iacca

The evolution of symbolic communication is a longstanding open research question in biology. While some theories suggest that it originated from sub-symbolic communication (i.e., i…
