Abstract Higher-order interactions, that is, interactions among the units of group size greater than two, are a fundamental structural feature of a variety of complex systems across the scale. Simplicial complexes are combinatorial objects that can capture and model the higher-order interactions present in a given complex system and thus represent the complex system as a higher-order network comprising simplices. In this work, a given simplicial complex is viewed as a finite union of d-exclusive simplicial complexes. Thus, to represent a complex system as a higher-order network given by a simplicial complex that captures all orders of interactions present in the system, a family of symmetric adjacency tensors A(d) of dimension d + 1 and appropriate order has been used. Each adjacency tensor A(d) represents a d-exclusive simplicial complex and for d≥2 it represents exclusively higher-order interactions of the system. For characterizing the structure of d-exclusive simplicial complexes, the notion of generalized structural centrality indices namely, generalized betweenness centrality and generalized closeness centrality has been established by developing the concepts of generalized walk and generalized distance in the simplicial complex. Generalized centrality indices quantify the contribution of δ-simplices in any d-exclusive simplicial complex Δ, where δ<d and if d≥2, it describes the contribution of δ-faces to the higher-order interactions of Δ. These generalized centrality indices provide local structural descriptions, which lead to mesoscale insights into the simplicial complex that comprises the higher-order network. An important theorem providing a general technique for the characterization of connectedness in d-exclusive simplicial complexes in terms of irreducibility of its adjacency tensor has been established. The concepts developed in this work together with concepts of generalized simplex deletion in d-exclusive simplicial complexes have been illustrated using examples. The effect of deletions on the generalized centralities of the complexes in the examples has been discussed.
高阶相互作用,即群大小大于2的单位之间的相互作用,是各种复杂系统跨尺度的基本结构特征。简单复合体是一种组合对象,它可以捕获和模拟给定复杂系统中存在的高阶相互作用,从而将复杂系统表示为包含简单体的高阶网络。在这项工作中,一个给定的简单复合体被视为d-不相容简单复合体的有限并。因此,为了将复杂系统表示为由捕获系统中存在的所有阶的相互作用的简单复合体给出的高阶网络,使用了维数为d + 1且阶数适当的对称邻接张量a (d)族。每个邻接张量A(d)代表一个d不相容的简单复合体,当d≥2时,它代表系统的唯一高阶相互作用。为了表征d-不相容单纯配合物的结构,通过发展单纯配合物的广义行走和广义距离的概念,建立了广义结构中心性指标即广义中间中心性和广义亲密中心性的概念。广义中心指数量化了Δ -简单面对任何d-不相容的简单络合物Δ的贡献,其中Δ <d,如果d≥2,它描述了Δ -面对Δ的高阶相互作用的贡献。这些广义的中心性指数提供了局部结构描述,从而导致对包含高阶网络的简单复杂的中尺度见解。建立了一个重要的定理,提供了用邻接张量的不可约性来表征d-不相容简单复合体的连通性的一般技术。在这项工作中发展的概念以及在d-排他简单复合体中广义单纯形缺失的概念已经用例子说明了。文中还讨论了缺失对配合物广义中心性的影响。

Abstract The inference of reliable and meaningful connectivity information from weights representing the affinity between nodes in a graph is an outstanding problem in network science. Usually, this is achieved by simply thresholding the edge weights to distinguish true links from false ones and to obtain a sparse set of connections. Tools developed in statistical mechanics have provided particularly effective ways to locate the optimal threshold so as to preserve the statistical properties of the network structure. Thermodynamic analogies together with statistical mechanical ensembles have been proven to be useful in analysing edge-weighted networks. To extend this work, in this article, we use a statistical mechanical model to describe the probability distribution for edge weights. This models the distribution of edge weights using a mixture of Gamma distributions. Using a two-component Gamma mixture model with components describing the edge and non-edge weight distributions, we use the Expectation–Maximization algorithm to estimate the corresponding Gamma distribution parameters and mixing proportions. This gives the optimal threshold to convert weighted networks to sets of binary-valued connections. Numerical analysis shows that it provides a new way to describe the edge weight probability. Furthermore, using a physical analogy in which the weights are the energies of molecules in a solid, the probability density function for nodes is identical to the degree distribution resulting from a uniform weight on edges. This provides an alternative way to study the degree distribution with the nodal probability function in unweighted networks. We observe a phase transition in the low-temperature region, corresponding to a structural transition caused by applying the threshold. Experimental results on real-world weighted and unweighted networks reveal an improved performance for inferring binary edge connections from edge weights.
从表示图中节点间亲和力的权重中推断出可靠而有意义的连通性信息是网络科学中的一个突出问题。通常,这是通过简单地阈值化边缘权重来区分真链接和假链接并获得稀疏连接集来实现的。统计力学中开发的工具提供了特别有效的方法来定位最佳阈值,以保持网络结构的统计特性。热力学类比和统计力学综已被证明在分析边加权网络时是有用的。为了扩展这项工作,在本文中,我们使用统计力学模型来描述边权的概率分布。该模型使用Gamma分布的混合来模拟边缘权重的分布。利用描述边缘和非边缘权重分布的双分量Gamma混合模型,我们使用期望最大化算法来估计相应的Gamma分布参数和混合比例。这给出了将加权网络转换为二值连接集的最佳阈值。数值分析表明,该方法为描述边权概率提供了一种新的方法。此外,使用一个物理类比,其中权重是固体中分子的能量,节点的概率密度函数与边缘上均匀权重产生的度分布相同。这为用节点概率函数研究非加权网络中的度分布提供了一种新的方法。我们观察到低温区域的相变,对应于应用阈值引起的结构转变。在真实世界的加权和未加权网络上的实验结果表明,从边缘权重推断二值边缘连接的性能有所提高。

Quantifying the temporal stability of international fertilizer trade networks 量化国际肥料贸易网络的时间稳定性

Abstract The importance of fertilizers to agricultural production is undeniable, and most economies rely on international trade for fertilizer use. The stability of fertilizer trade networks is fundamental to food security. However, quantifying the temporal stability of a fast-growing system, such as the international fertilizer trade, requires a multi-dimensional perception. Therefore, we propose a new method, namely the structural inheritance index, to distinguish the stability of the existing structure from the influence of the growing process. The well-known mutual information and Jaccard index are calculated for comparison. We use the three methods to measure the temporal stability of the overall network and different functional sub-networks of the three fertilizer nutrients N, P and K from 1990 to 2018. The international N, P and K trade systems all have a trend of increasing stability with the process of globalization. The existing structure in the fertilizer trading system has shown high stability since 1990, implying that the instability calculated by the Jaccard index in the early stage comes from the emergence of new trade. The stability of the K trade network is concentrated in large sub-networks, meaning that it is vulnerable to extreme events. The stable medium sub-network helps the N trade become the most stable nutrient trade. The P trade is clearly in the role of a catch-up player. Based on the analysis of the comparisons of three indicators, we concluded that all three nutrient trade networks enter a steady state.
肥料对农业生产的重要性是不可否认的,大多数经济体都依赖国际贸易来使用肥料。化肥贸易网络的稳定对粮食安全至关重要。然而,量化快速增长的系统(如国际肥料贸易)的时间稳定性需要多维度的感知。因此,我们提出了一种新的方法,即结构继承指数,来区分现有结构的稳定性和生长过程的影响。计算了众所周知的互信息和Jaccard指数进行比较。利用这三种方法对1990 - 2018年氮磷钾三种肥料养分整体网络和不同功能子网络的时间稳定性进行了测量。随着全球化进程的推进,国际氮、磷、钾贸易体系都呈现出日益稳定的趋势。自1990年以来,化肥交易体系的现有结构表现出较高的稳定性,这意味着Jaccard指数计算的早期不稳定性来自于新贸易的出现。K贸易网络的稳定性集中在大的子网络上,这意味着它很容易受到极端事件的影响。稳定介质子网络使氮贸易成为最稳定的养分贸易。P的交易显然是在扮演一个追赶者的角色。通过对3个指标的比较分析,得出3个养分贸易网络均进入稳定状态的结论。

Abstract Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease, encompasses a variety of heart conditions that can result in sudden death for many people. Examples include high blood pressure, ischaemia, irregular heartbeats and pericardial effusion. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal analysis is frequently used to diagnose heart diseases, providing crucial information on how the heart functions. To analyse ECG signals, quantile graphs (QGs) is a method that maps a time series into a network based on the time-series fluctuation proprieties. Here, we demonstrate that the QG methodology can differentiate younger and older patients. Furthermore, we construct networks from the QG method and use machine-learning algorithms to perform the automatic diagnosis, obtaining high accuracy. Indeed, we verify that this method can automatically detect changes in the ECG of elderly and young subjects, with the highest classification performance for the adjacency matrix with a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve close to one. The findings reported here confirm the QG method’s utility in deciphering intricate, nonlinear signals like those produced by patient ECGs. Furthermore, we find a more significant, more connected and lower distribution of information networks associated with the networks from ECG data of the elderly compared with younger subjects. Finally, this methodology can be applied to other ECG data related to other diseases, such as ischaemia.
心脏病,也被称为心血管疾病,包括各种心脏疾病,可导致许多人猝死。例如高血压、缺血、心律不齐和心包积液。心电图(ECG)信号分析经常用于诊断心脏病,提供心脏功能的重要信息。分位数图(QGs)是一种基于时间序列波动特性将时间序列映射到网络中的方法。在这里,我们证明了QG方法可以区分年轻和老年患者。此外,我们从QG方法构建网络,并使用机器学习算法进行自动诊断,获得了较高的准确性。实际上,我们验证了该方法可以自动检测老年人和年轻人的ECG变化,并且在接收者工作特征曲线下的平均面积接近1的邻接矩阵具有最高的分类性能。本文报道的研究结果证实了QG方法在破译复杂的非线性信号(如患者心电图产生的信号)方面的实用性。此外,我们发现与年轻受试者相比,老年人的心电数据中与网络相关的信息网络更显著、更连通、分布更低。最后,该方法可以应用于与其他疾病相关的其他心电图数据,如缺血。

Abstract We consider several families of network centrality measures induced by graph kernels, which include some well-known measures and many new ones. The Self-consistency and Bridge axioms, which appeared earlier in the literature, are closely related to certain kernels and one of the families. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for Self-consistency, a sufficient condition for the Bridge axiom, indicate specific measures that satisfy these axioms and show that under some additional conditions they are incompatible. PageRank centrality applied to undirected networks violates most conditions under study and has a property that according to some authors is ‘hard to imagine’ for a centrality measure. We explain this phenomenon. Adopting the Self-consistency or Bridge axiom leads to a drastic reduction in survey time in the culling method designed to select the most appropriate centrality measures.
摘要考虑了几种由图核引起的网络中心性度量,其中包括一些已知的度量和许多新的度量。早在文献中出现的自洽公理和桥公理与某些核和其中一个族密切相关。我们得到了自洽的一个充分必要条件和桥公理的一个充分条件,指出了满足这些公理的具体测度,并证明了在某些附加条件下它们是不相容的。应用于无向网络的PageRank中心性违反了研究中的大多数条件,并且根据一些作者的说法,中心性度量具有“难以想象”的性质。我们解释这种现象。采用自洽或桥公理导致在挑选最合适的中心性措施的剔除方法中调查时间的急剧减少。

Abstract Scientific collaboration is an essential aspect of the educational field, offering significant reference value in resource sharing and policy making. With the increasing diversity and inter-disciplinary nature of educational research, understanding scientific collaboration within and between various subfields is crucial for its development. This article employs topic modelling to extract educational research topics from publication metadata obtained from 265 scientific journals spanning the period from 2000 to 2021. We construct a multilayer co-authorship network whose layers represent the scientific collaboration in different subfields. The topological properties of the layers are compared, highlighting the differences and common features of scientific collaboration between hot and cold topics, with the main difference being the existence of a significant largest connected component. Further, the cross-layer cooperation behaviour is investigated by studying the structural measures of the multilayer network and reveals authors’ inclination to collaborate with familiar individuals in familiar subfields. Moreover, the relationships between the authors’ features on the network topology and their H-index are investigated. The results emphasize the significance of establishing a clear research direction to enhance the academic reputation of authors, as well as the importance of cross-layer collaboration for expanding their research groups. Finally, based on the above results, we propose a multilayer network generation model of scientific collaboration and verify its validity.

Novel network representation model for improving controllability processes on temporal networks 一种改进时间网络可控性过程的网络表示模型

Abstract Temporal networks are known as the most important tools for representing and storing dynamic systems. This type of network accurately demonstrates all the dynamic changes that occur in a dynamic system. In different applications of dynamic systems, different representation of network models has been used to represent temporal networks. In the last decade, controllability in dynamic systems has become one of the most important challenges in this field. Controllability means the transfer of the network from an initial state to a desired final state in a certain period of time. The most common representation of network model used in control processes is the layered model. But this model has a high overhead, and on the other hand, it slows down the network control processes. In this article, we have proposed a new model for storing and representing temporal networks, which uses a tree structure to save all dynamics of network. Considering that in the proposed model only essential network control information is stored, this model has a very low data overhead compared to the layered model, and this makes the control processes run at a higher speed.
时态网络被认为是表示和存储动态系统的最重要工具。这种类型的网络准确地展示了动态系统中发生的所有动态变化。在动态系统的不同应用中,网络模型的不同表示已被用于表示时态网络。在过去的十年中,动态系统的可控性已成为该领域最重要的挑战之一。可控性是指网络在一定时间内从初始状态向期望的最终状态的转移。控制过程中最常用的网络模型表示是分层模型。但是这种模型开销很大,另一方面,它降低了网络控制过程的速度。在本文中,我们提出了一种新的存储和表示时态网络的模型,该模型使用树形结构来保存网络的所有动态。考虑到该模型只存储了必要的网络控制信息,与分层模型相比,该模型的数据开销非常低,这使得控制过程以更高的速度运行。

Considering that in the proposed model only essential network control information is stored, this model has a very low data overhead compared to the layered model, and this makes the control processes run at a higher speed.","PeriodicalId":15442,"journal":{"name":"Journal of complex networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135364422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neural networks activated by the rectified linear unit (ReLU) play a central role in the recent development of deep learning. The topic of approximating functions from H"older spaces by these networks is crucial for understanding the efficiency of the induced learning algorithms. Although the topic has been well investigated in the setting of deep neural networks with many layers of hidden neurons, it is still open for shallow networks having only one hidden layer. In this paper, we provide rates of uniform approximation by these networks. We show that ReLU shallow neural networks with $m$ hidden neurons can uniformly approximate functions from the H"older space $W_infty^r([-1, 1]^d)$ with rates $O((log m)^{frac{1}{2} +d}m^{-frac{r}{d}frac{d+2}{d+4}})$ when $r

While network science has become an indispensable tool for studying complex systems, the conventional use of pairwise links often shows limitations in describing high-order interactions properly. Hypergraphs, where each edge can connect more than two nodes, have thus become a new paradigm in network science. Yet, we are still in lack of models linking network growth and hyperedge expansion, both of which are commonly observable in the real world. Here, we propose a generative hypergraph model by employing the preferential attachment mechanism in both nodes and hyperedge formation. The model can produce bi-heterogeneity, exhibiting scale-free distributions in both hyperdegree and hyperedge size. We provide a mean-field treatment that gives the expression of the two scaling exponents, which agree with the numerical simulations. Our model may help to understand the networked systems showing both types of heterogeneity and facilitate the study of complex dynamics thereon.
虽然网络科学已成为研究复杂系统不可或缺的工具,但传统的成对链接往往在正确描述高阶交互作用方面显示出局限性。超图(每条边可以连接两个以上节点)因此成为网络科学的新范式。然而,我们仍然缺乏将网络增长和超边缘扩展联系起来的模型,而这两者在现实世界中都是可以观察到的。在这里,我们提出了一种生成超图模型,在节点和超边形成中都采用了优先附着机制。该模型可以产生双异质性,在超度和超边大小上都表现出无标度分布。我们提供了一种均场处理方法,给出了两个缩放指数的表达式,与数值模拟结果一致。我们的模型可能有助于理解呈现两种异质性的网络系统,并促进对其复杂动力学的研究。
