Tens of thousands of parent companies control millions of subsidiaries through long chains of intermediary entities in global corporate networks. Conversely, tens of millions of entities are directly held by sole owners. We propose an algorithm for identification of ultimate controlling entities in such networks that unifies direct and indirect control and allows for continuous interpolation between the two concepts via a factor damping long paths. By exploiting onion-like properties of ownership networks the algorithm scales linearly with the network size and handles circular ownership by design. We apply it to the universe of 4.2 mln UK companies and 4 mln of their holders to understand the distribution of control in the country. Furthermore, we provide the first independent evaluation of the control identification results. We reveal that the proposed $alpha$-ICON algorithm identifies more than 96% of beneficiary entities from the evaluation set and supersedes the existing approaches reported in the literature. We refer the superiority of $alpha$-ICON algorithm to its ability to correctly identify the parents long away from their subsidiaries in the network.

Todays economy, production activity, and our life are sustained by social and technological network infrastructures, while new threats of network attacks by destructing loops have been found recently in network science. We inversely take into account the weakness, and propose a new design principle for incrementally growing robust networks. The networks are self-organized by enhancing interwoven long loops. In particular, we consider the range-limited approximation of linking by intermediations in a few hops, and show the strong robustness in the growth without degrading efficiency of paths. Moreover, we demonstrate that the tolerance of connectivity is reformable even from extremely vulnerable real networks according to our proposed growing process with some investment. These results may indicate a prospective direction to the future growth of our network infrastructures.

We numerically investigate that optimal robust onion-like networks can emerge even with the constraint of surface growth in supposing a spatially embedded transportation or communication system. To be onion-like, moderately long links are necessary i n the attachment through intermediations inspired from a social organization theory.
We consider a set of flows passing through a set of servers. The injection rate into each flow is governed by a flow control that increases the injection rate when all the servers on the flows path are empty and decreases the injection rate when some server is congested. We show that if each servers congestion is governed by the arriving traffic at the server then the system can *oscillate*. This is in contrast to previous work on flow control where congestion was modeled as a function of the flow injection rates and the system was shown to converge to a steady state that maximizes an overall network utility.
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.
We report electrical conductivity measurements of Polymethyl-methacrylate filled by onion-like carbon particles with primary particle size of $approx 5$ nm. We shown that the conductivity $sigma$ is exceptionally high even at very low loadings, and t hat its low-temperature dependence follows a Coulomb gap regime at atmospheric pressure and an activated behavior at a pressure of $2$ GPa. We interpret this finding in terms of the enhancement under the applied pressure of the effective dielectric permittivity within the aggregates of onion-like carbons, which improves the screening of the Coulomb interaction and reduces the optimal hopping distance of the electrons.
