The analysis of the dynamics on complex networks is closely connected to structural features of the networks. Features like, for instance, graph-cores and node degrees have been studied ubiquitously. Here we introduce the D-spectrum of a network, a novel new framework that is based on a collection of nested chains of subgraphs within the network. Graph-cores and node degrees are merely from two particular such chains of the D-spectrum. Each chain gives rise to a ranking of nodes and, for a fixed node, the collection of these ranks provides us with the D-spectrum of the node. Besides a node deletion algorithm, we discover a connection between the D-spectrum of a network and some fixed points of certain graph dynamical systems (MC systems) on the network. Using the D-spectrum we identify nodes of similar spreading power in the susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) model on a collection of real world networks as a quick application. We then discuss our results and conclude that D-spectra represent a meaningful augmentation of graph-cores and node degrees.

Networks are a convenient way to represent complex systems of interacting entities. Many networks contain communities of nodes that are more densely connected to each other than to nodes in the rest of the network. In this paper, we investigate the d etection of communities in temporal networks represented as multilayer networks. As a focal example, we study time-dependent financial-asset correlation networks. We first argue that the use of the modularity quality function---which is defined by comparing edge weights in an observed network to expected edge weights in a null network---is application-dependent. We differentiate between null networks and null models in our discussion of modularity maximization, and we highlight that the same null network can correspond to different null models. We then investigate a multilayer modularity-maximization problem to identify communities in temporal networks. Our multilayer analysis only depends on the form of the maximization problem and not on the specific quality function that one chooses. We introduce a diagnostic to measure emph{persistence} of community structure in a multilayer network partition. We prove several results that describe how the multilayer maximization problem measures a trade-off between static community structure within layers and larger values of persistence across layers. We also discuss some computational issues that the popular Louvain heuristic faces with temporal multilayer networks and suggest ways to mitigate them.
We study spectra of directed networks with inhibitory and excitatory couplings. We investigate in particular eigenvector localization properties of various model networks for different value of correlation among their entries. Spectra of random netwo rks, with completely uncorrelated entries show a circular distribution with delocalized eigenvectors, where as networks with correlated entries have localized eigenvectors. In order to understand the origin of localization we track the spectra as a function of connection probability and directionality. As connections are made directed, eigenstates start occurring in complex conjugate pairs and the eigenvalue distribution combined with the localization measure shows a rich pattern. Moreover, for a very well distinguished community structure, the whole spectrum is localized except few eigenstates at boundary of the circular distribution. As the network deviates from the community structure there is a sudden change in the localization property for a very small value of deformation from the perfect community structure. We search for this effect for the whole range of correlation strengths and for different community configurations. Furthermore, we investigate spectral properties of a metabolic network of zebrafish, and compare them with those of the model networks.
We investigate the problem of learning to generate complex networks from data. Specifically, we consider whether deep belief networks, dependency networks, and members of the exponential random graph family can learn to generate networks whose comple x behavior is consistent with a set of input examples. We find that the deep model is able to capture the complex behavior of small networks, but that no model is able capture this behavior for networks with more than a handful of nodes.
Most real networks are characterized by connectivity patterns that evolve in time following complex, non-Markovian, dynamics. Here we investigate the impact of this ubiquitous feature by studying the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) and Susceptib le-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) epidemic models on activity driven networks with and without memory (i.e., Markovian and non-Markovian). We show that while memory inhibits the spreading process in SIR models, where the epidemic threshold is moved to larger values, it plays the opposite effect in the case of the SIS, where the threshold is lowered. The heterogeneity in tie strengths, and the frequent repetition of connections that it entails, allows in fact less virulent SIS-like diseases to survive in tightly connected local clusters that serve as reservoir for the virus. We validate this picture by evaluating the threshold of both processes in a real temporal network. Our findings confirm the important role played by non-Markovian network dynamics on dynamical processes

We consider distance functions on a quotient module $M/K$ induced by distance functions on a module $M$. We define error-correction for codes in $M/K$ with respect to induced distance functions. For the case that the metric is induced by a homogeneou s weight, we derive analogues of the Plotkin and Elias-Bassalygo bounds and give their asymptot
