Catching homologies by geometric entropy


الملخص بالإنكليزية

A geometric entropy is defined as the Riemannian volume of the parameter space of a statistical manifold associated with a given network. As such it can be a good candidate for measuring networks complexity. Here we investigate its ability to single out topological features of networks proceeding in a bottom-up manner: first we consider small size networks by analytical methods and then large size networks by numerical techniques. Two different classes of networks, the random graphs and the scale--free networks, are investigated computing their Betti numbers and then showing the capability of geometric entropy of detecting homologies.
