Mixture models and exploratory analysis in networks
M. E. J. Newman, E. A. Leicht
Networks are widely used in the biological, physical, and social sciences as a concise mathematical representation of the topology of systems of interacting components. Understandi…
Structural Inference of Hierarchies in Networks
Aaron Clauset, Cristopher Moore, M. E. J. Newman
One property of networks that has received comparatively little attention is hierarchy, i.e., the property of having vertices that cluster together in groups, which then join to fo…
Nonequilibrium phase transition in the coevolution of networks and opinions
Petter Holme, M. E. J. Newman
Models of the convergence of opinion in social systems have been the subject of a considerable amount of recent attention in the physics literature. These models divide into two cl…
Optimal design of spatial distribution networks
Michael T. Gastner, M. E. J. Newman
We consider the problem of constructing public facilities, such as hospitals, airports, or malls, in a country with a non-uniform population density, such that the average distance…
Modularity and community structure in networks
M. E. J. Newman
Many networks of interest in the sciences, including a variety of social and biological networks, are found to divide naturally into communities or modules. The problem of detectin…
