In recent years the research community has accumulated overwhelming evidence for the
emergence of complex and heterogeneous connectivity patterns in a wide range of …

Real networks exhibit heterogeneous nature with nodes playing far different roles in
structure and function. To identify vital nodes is thus very significant, allowing us to control …

Pathological perturbations of the brain are rarely confined to a single locus; instead, they
often spread via axonal pathways to influence other regions. Patterns of such disease …

In the last two decades, network science has blossomed and influenced various fields, such
as statistical physics, computer science, biology and sociology, from the perspective of the …

The whole frame of interconnections in complex networks hinges on a specific set of
structural nodes, much smaller than the total size, which, if activated, would cause the …

Artificial intelligence is an advanced method to identify novel anticancer targets and discover
novel drugs from biology networks because the networks can effectively preserve and …

Introduction How do the network positions of the first individuals in a society to receive
information about a new product affect its eventual diffusion? To answer this question, we …

Online social networks play a major role in the spread of information at very large scale. A lot
of effort have been made in order to understand this phenomenon, ranging from popular …

Complex networks appear in almost every aspect of science and technology. Although most
results in the field have been obtained by analysing isolated networks, many real-world …

Identifying influential nodes that lead to faster and wider spreading in complex networks is of
theoretical and practical significance. The degree centrality method is very simple but of little …
