Network constraints on the mixing patterns of binary node metadata

Matteo Cinelli, Leto Peel, Antonio Iovanella +1

We consider the network constraints on the bounds of the assortativity coefficient, which measures the tendency of nodes with the same attribute values to be interconnected. The as…

Rock-Paper-Scissors Random Walks on Temporal Multilayer Networks

Martin Gueuning, Sibo Cheng, Renaud Lambiotte +1

We study diffusion on a multilayer network where the contact dynamics between the nodes is governed by a random process and where the waiting time distribution differs for edges fr…

Measuring the effect of node aggregation on community detection

Yérali Gandica, Adeline Decuyper, Christophe Cloquet +2

Many times the nodes of a complex network, whether deliberately or not, are aggregated for technical, ethical, legal limitations or privacy reasons. A common example is the geograp…
