Distance Backbones Optimize Spreading Dynamics and Centrality Ranks in the Sparsification of Complex Networks
Bernardo Pereira, Felipe Xavier Costa, LuÃs M. Rocha
Detailed network models of social, biological and other complex systems are often dense, which increases their computational complexity in simulations and analysis. To address this…

Quantifying edge relevance for epidemic spreading via the semi-metric topology of complex networks
David Soriano Paños, Felipe Xavier Costa, Luis M. Rocha
Sparsification aims at extracting a reduced core of associations that best preserves both the dynamics and topology of networks while reducing the computational cost of simulations…
