Detecting community structure is fundamental to clarify the link between structure and function in complex networks and is used for practical applications in many disciplines. A su…
Is the intrinsic disorder of proteins the cause of the scale-free architecture of protein-protein interaction networks?
Santiago Schnell, Santo Fortunato, Sourav Roy
In protein-protein interaction networks certain topological properties appear to be recurrent: networks maps are considered scale-free. It is possible that this topology is reflect…
Random Walks on Directed Networks: the Case of PageRank
Santo Fortunato, Alessandro Flammini
PageRank, the prestige measure for Web pages used by Google, is the stationary probability of a peculiar random walk on directed graphs, which interpolates between a pure random wa…
Scale-free network growth by ranking
Santo Fortunato, Alessandro Flammini, Filippo Menczer
Network growth is currently explained through mechanisms that rely on node prestige measures, such as degree or fitness. In many real networks those who create and connect nodes do…
