The trophic levels of nodes in directed networks can reveal their functional properties.
Moreover, the trophic coherence of a network, defined in terms of trophic levels, is related to …

Many natural, complex systems are remarkably stable thanks to an absence of feedback
acting on their elements. When described as networks these exhibit few or no cycles, and …

Many networks describing complex systems are directed: the interactions between elements
are not symmetric. Recent work has shown that these networks can display properties such …

Food webs have been found to exhibit remarkable “motif profiles”, patterns in the relative
prevalences of all possible three-species subgraphs, and this has been related to …

Trophic coherence, a measure of the extent to which the nodes of a directed network are
organised in levels, has recently been shown to be closely related to many structural and …

Growing attention has been brought to the fact that many real directed networks exhibit
hierarchy and directionality as measured through techniques like trophic analysis and non …

Although neural-network architectures are critical for their performance, how the structural
characteristics of a neural network affect its performance has still not been fully explored …

Designing efficient network structures has always been the core content of neural network
research. ResNet and its variants have proved to be efficient in architecture. However, how …

Social networks can be made of various kinds of ties, but (often implicit) assumptions
embodied in network-analytic tools do not necessarily apply to all of them. Centrality indices …

Complex interacting systems permeate the modern world. Many diverse natural, social and
human made systems—ranging from food webs to human contact networks, to the Internet …
