Why working on networks?Why working on networks?Because
NETWORKS
encode for the ORGANIZATION,
FUNCTION,ROBUSTENES
AND DYNAMICAL BEHAVIOR of the entire complex system

Types of networksSimple Each link is either existent or non existent, the links do not have directionality
(protein interaction map, Internet,…)
Directed The links have directionality,i.e., arrows(World-Wide-Web, social networks…)
Signed The links have a sign(transcription factor networks, epistatic networks…)

Types of networksWeighted The links are associated to a real number
indicating their weight(airport networks, phone-call networks…)With features of the nodes The nodes might
have weight or color(social networks, diseasome, ect..)

Motifs of size 3 in directed networks
QuickTime™ and a decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
The number of distinguishable possible motifs increases exponentially with the motif size limiting the extension of this method to large subgraphs

Specific characteristics of a network:
communities
A community of a network define a set of nodes with similar connectivity pattern.

Girvan and Newman algorithm
1. The betweenness of all existing edges in the network is calculated first.
2. The edge with the highest betweenness is removed.
3. The betweenness of all edges affected by the removal is recalculated.
4. Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until no edges remain.

Cliques Cliques for community for community detectiondetection
Overlapping set of cliques can be
helpful to identify community
structures in different networks
For this method to work systematically networks must have many cliques (ex. Scale-free networks)

Weight distribution and weight-Weight distribution and weight-degree correlationsdegree correlations
The weights of a network might correlate with the degree of the nodes which are linked by them.
Strength Sk
Is a measure of the inhomogeneities of the distribution of the weights among the nodes of the network.
Disparity Y2k
Is a measure of the inhomogeneities of the weights ending at a node of degree k.
