Robustness modularity in complex networks
Filipi N. Silva, Aiiad Albeshri, Vijey Thayananthan +2
A basic question in network community detection is how modular a given network is. This is usually addressed by evaluating the quality of partitions detected in the network. The Gi…
Opinion Diversity and Social Bubbles in Adaptive Sznajd Networks
Alexandre Benatti, Henrique Ferraz de Arruda, Filipi Nascimento Silva +2
Among the several approaches that have been attempted at studying opinion dynamics, the Sznajd model provides some particularly interesting features, such as its simplicity and abi…
Malleability of complex networks
Filipi N. Silva, Cesar H. Comin, Luciano da F. Costa
Most complex networks are not static, but evolve along time. Given a specific configuration of one such changing network, it becomes a particularly interesting issue to quantify th…
Can Spatiality Promote Diversity?
Bruno Messias, Filipi N. Silva, Cesar H. Comin +1
Real-world dynamics running on networks can be characterized in terms of their respective diversity, or heterogeneity of state values. Spatial networks can be understood as network…
Topological characterization of world cities
Guilherme S. Domingues, Filipi N. Silva, Cesar H. Comin +1
The topological organization of several world cities are studied according to respective representations by complex networks. As a first step, the city maps are processed by a rece…
Complex systems: features, similarity and connectivity
Cesar H. Comin, Thomas K. DM. Peron, Filipi N. Silva +3
The increasing interest in complex networks research has been a consequence of several intrinsic features of this area, such as the generality of the approach to represent and mode…
Thermodynamic characterization of networks using graph polynomials
Cheng Ye, Cesar H. Comin, Thomas K. DM. Peron +5
In this paper, we present a method for characterizing the evolution of time-varying complex networks by adopting a thermodynamic representation of network structure computed from a…
A diffusion-based approach to obtaining the borders of urban areas
Cesar Henrique Comin, Filipi Nascimento Silva, Luciano da Fontoura Costa
The access to an ever increasing amount of information in the modern world gave rise to the development of many quantitative indicators about urban regions in the globe. Therefore,…
Modular Dynamics of Financial Market Networks
Filipi N. Silva, Cesar H. Comin, Thomas K. DM. Peron +5
The financial market is a complex dynamical system composed of a large variety of intricate relationships between several entities, such as banks, corporations and institutions. At…
A framework for evaluating complex networks measurements
Cesar H. Comin, Filipi N. Silva, Luciano da F. Costa
A good deal of current research in complex networks involves the characterization and/or classification of the topological properties of given structures, which has motivated sever…
Concentric Network Symmetry
Filipi N. Silva, Cesar H. Comin, Thomas K. DM. Peron +5
Quantification of symmetries in complex networks is typically done globally in terms of automorphisms. Extending previous methods to locally assess the symmetry of nodes is not str…
Local Dimension of Complex Networks
Filipi Nascimento Silva, Luciano da Fontoura Costa
Dimensionality is one of the most important properties of complex physical systems. However, only recently this concept has been considered in the context of complex networks. In t…
Quantifying the interdisciplinarity of scientific journals and fields
Filipi Nascimento Silva, Francisco Aparecido Rodrigues, Osvaldo Novais de Oliveira Junior +1
There is an overall perception of increased interdisciplinarity in science, but this is difficult to confirm quantitatively owing to the lack of adequate methods to evaluate subjec…
Concentric Characterization and Classification of Complex Network Nodes: Theory and Application to Institutional Collaboration
Filipi Nascimento Silva, Marilza A. Rodrigues, Luciano da Fontoura Costa
Differently from theoretical scale-free networks, most of real networks present multi-scale behavior with nodes structured in different types of functional groups and communities.…
