Multilayer networks are widespread in natural and manmade systems. Key properties of these networks are their spectral and eigenfunction characteristics, as they determine the critical properties of many dynamics occurring on top of them. In this paper, we numerically demonstrate that the normalized localization length $beta$ of the eigenfunctions of multilayer random networks follows a simple scaling law given by $beta=x^*/(1+x^*)$, with $x^*=gamma(b_{text{eff}}^2/L)^delta$, $gamma,deltasim 1$ and $b_{text{eff}}$ being the effective bandwidth of the adjacency matrix of the network, whose size is $L=Mtimes N$. The reported scaling law for $beta$ might help to better understand criticality in multilayer networks as well as to predict the eigenfunction localization properties of them.

Multilayer networks represent systems in which there are several topological levels each one representing one kind of interaction or interdependency between the systems elements. These networks have attracted a lot of attention recently because their study allows considering different dynamical modes concurrently. Here, we revise the main concepts and tools developed up to date. Specifically, we focus on several metrics for multilayer network characterization as well as on the spectral properties of the system, which ultimately enable for the dynamical characterization of several critical phenomena. The theoretical framework is also applied for description of real-world multilayer systems.
The controllability of a network is a theoretical problem of relevance in a variety of contexts ranging from financial markets to the brain. Until now, network controllability has been characterized only on isolated networks, while the vast majority of complex systems are formed by multilayer networks. Here we build a theoretical framework for the linear controllability of multilayer networks by mapping the problem into a combinatorial matching problem. We found that correlating the external signals in the different layers can significantly reduce the multiplex network robustness to node removal, as it can be seen in conjunction with a hybrid phase transition occurring in interacting Poisson networks. Moreover we observe that multilayer networks can stabilize the fully controllable multiplex network configuration that can be stable also when the full controllability of the single network is not stable.
The formation of network structure is mainly influenced by an individual nodes activity and its memory, where activity can usually be interpreted as the individual inherent property and memory can be represented by the interaction strength between nodes. In our study, we define the activity through the appearance pattern in the time-aggregated network representation, and quantify the memory through the contact pattern of empirical temporal networks. To address the role of activity and memory in epidemics on time-varying networks, we propose temporal-pattern coarsening of activity-driven growing networks with memory. In particular, we focus on the relation between time-scale coarsening and spreading dynamics in the context of dynamic scaling and finite-size scaling. Finally, we discuss the universality issue of spreading dynamics on time-varying networks for various memory-causality tests.
Designing an efficient routing strategy is of great importance to alleviate traffic congestion in multilayer networks. In this work, we design an effective routing strategy for multilayer networks by comprehensively considering the roles of nodes local structures in micro-level, as well as the macro-level differences in transmission speeds between different layers. Both numerical and analytical results indicate that our proposed routing strategy can reasonably redistribute the traffic load of the low speed layer to the high speed layer, and thus the traffic capacity of multilayer networks are significantly enhanced compared with the monolayer low speed networks. There is an optimal combination of macro- and micro-level control parameters at which can remarkably alleviate the congestion and thus maximize the traffic capacity for a given multilayer network. Moreover, we find that increasing the size and the average degree of the high speed layer can enhance the traffic capacity of multilayer networks more effectively. We finally verify that real-world network topology does not invalidate the results. The theoretical predictions agree well with the numerical simulations.
To improve the accuracy of network-based SIS models we introduce and study a multilayer representation of a time-dependent network. In particular, we assume that individuals have their long-term (permanent) contacts that are always present, identifying in this way the first network layer. A second network layer also exists, where the same set of nodes can be connected by occasional links, created with a given probability. While links of the first layer are permanent, a link of the second layer is only activated with some probability and under the condition that the two nodes, connected by this link, are simultaneously participating to the temporary link. We develop a model for the SIS epidemic on this time-dependent network, analyze equilibrium and stability of the corresponding mean-field equations, and shed some light on the role of the temporal layer on the spreading process.
