Complex systems are very often organized under the form of networks where nodes and
edges are embedded in space. Transportation and mobility networks, Internet, mobile phone …

Complex network theory is a multidisciplinary research direction of complexity science which
has experienced a rapid surge of interest over the last two decades. Its applications in land …

Introduced in its contemporary form in 1946 (ref. 1), but with roots that go back to the
eighteenth century 2, the gravity law 1, 3, 4 is the prevailing framework with which to predict …

Assessing the navigability of interconnected networks (transporting information, people, or
goods) under eventual random failures is of utmost importance to design and protect critical …

The human brain,, power grids, arrays of coupled lasers and the Amazon rainforest, are all
characterized by multistability. The likelihood that these systems will remain in the most …

In this paper, we combine the most complete record of daily mobility, based on large-scale
mobile phone data, with detailed Geographic Information System (GIS) data, uncovering …

The human brain is organized in functional modules. Such an organization presents a basic
conundrum: Modules ought to be sufficiently independent to guarantee functional …

Network theory has become one of the most visible theoretical frameworks that can be
applied to the description, analysis, understanding, design and repair of multi-level complex …

In a recent work [Schneider, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 108, 3838 (2011) PNASA6 0027-
8424 10.1073/pnas. 1009440108], the authors proposed a simple measure for network …

Recent network research has focused on the cascading failures in a system of
interdependent networks and the necessary preconditions for system collapse. An important …
