Signal propagation in complex networks drives epidemics, is responsible for information
going viral, promotes trust and facilitates moral behavior in social groups, enables the …

Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

The power of any kind of network approach lies in the ability to simplify a complex system so
that one can better understand its function as a whole. Sometimes it is beneficial, however …

Animal social networks are shaped by multiple selection pressures, including the need to
ensure efficient communication and functioning while simultaneously limiting disease …

Most networked systems of scientific interest are characterized by temporal links, meaning
the network's structure changes over time. Link temporality has been shown to hinder many …

A great variety of systems in nature, society and technology–from the web of sexual contacts
to the Internet, from the nervous system to power grids–can be modeled as graphs of …

The success of new scientific areas can be assessed by their potential in contributing to new
theoretical approaches and in applications to real-world problems. Complex networks have …

In temporal networks, where nodes interact via sequences of temporary events, information
or resources can only flow through paths that follow the time ordering of events. Such …

The time variation of contacts in a networked system may fundamentally alter the properties
of spreading processes and affect the condition for large-scale propagation, as encoded in …

Bursty dynamics is a common temporal property of various complex systems in nature but it
also characterises the dynamics of human actions and interactions. At the …
