多层网络概述

Multilayer Networks in a Nutshell

Alberto Aleta, Yamir Moreno

摘要:

复杂系统的特征是许多相互作用的单元产生涌现行为。研究这些系统的一个特别有利的方法是通过分析编码系统组成部分之间相互作用的网络。在过去的二十年里,网络科学在自然、社会、生物和技术系统中提供了许多见解。然而,真实的系统往往是相互连接的,具有许多单层网络无法正确捕获的相互依赖性。为了解释这种复杂性的来源,需要一个更通用的框架,在这个框架中,不同的网络相互进化或相互作用。这些被称为多层网络。在这里,我们提供了一个概述的基本方法来描述多层系统,以及一些代表性的动态过程中发生的顶部。最后,我们总结了在不同科学领域的几个应用。

英文摘要:

Complex systems are characterized by many interacting units that give rise to emergent behavior. A particularly advantageous way to study these systems is through the analysis of the networks that encode the interactions among the system's constituents. During the last two decades, network science has provided many insights in natural, social, biological and technological systems. However, real systems are more often than not interconnected, with many interdependencies that are not properly captured by single layer networks. To account for this source of complexity, a more general framework, in which different networks evolve or interact with each other, is needed. These are known as multilayer networks. Here we provide an overview of the basic methodology used to describe multilayer systems as well as of some representative dynamical processes that take place on top of them. We round off the review with a summary of several applications in diverse fields of science.
