This paper is focused on applying a polarization multiplex to passive optical networks double their transmission bandwidth without significant changes in the distribution network. Although multiplexes are already employed for high-speed transport with digital signal processing and coherent detection, we propose system that could be used existing older using dynamic controller combination wavele...

In this work, we take a first step to investigate information spreading in multiplex networks, adopting the gossip (randomwalk) based model. Two key features of multiplex networks allow potentially much faster information spreading: availability of multiple channels and communication actions for each user, and more choices on neighbor contacting. As a first work in this area, we explored the im...

The giant mutually connected component (GMCC) of an interdependent or multiplex network collapses with a discontinuous hybrid transition under random damage to the network. If the nodes to be damaged are selected in a targeted way, the collapse of the GMCC may occur significantly sooner. Finding the minimal damage set which destroys the largest mutually connected component of a given interdepen...

Many complex systems can be described as multiplex networks in which the same nodes can interact with one another in different layers, thus forming a set of interacting and co-evolving networks. Examples of such multiplex systems are social networks where people are involved in different types of relationships and interact through various forms of communication media. The ranking of nodes in mu...

We examine a model of network formation in single-layer and multiplex networks in which individuals have positive incentives for social ties, closed triangles, and spillover edges. In particular, we investigate the influence of shocks to the network in which the cost of social ties changes after an initial equilibrium. We highlight the emergence of structural entrenchment: the retention of stru...

This paper focuses on the problem of growing multiplex networks. Currently, the results on the joint degree distribution of growing multiplex networks present in the literature pertain to the case of two layers and are confined to the special case of homogeneous growth and are limited to the state state (that is, the limit of infinite size). In the present paper, we first obtain closed-form sol...

Subject of research is complex networks and network systems. The network system is defined as a complex network in which the flows are moved. Classification of flows in the network is carried out on the basis of ordering and continuity. It is shown that complex networks with different types of flows generate various network systems. Flow analogues of the basic concepts of the theory of complex ...

Abstract We introduce a methodology based on averaging similarity matrices with the aim of integrating layers multiplex network into single monoplex network. Multiplex networks are adopted for modelling wide variety real-world frameworks, such as multi-type relations in social, economic and biological structures. More specifically, used when different nature (layers) arise between set elements ...

Multiplex networks describe a large number of complex social, biological and transportation networks where a set of nodes is connected by links of different nature and connotation. Here we uncover the rich community structure of multiplex networks by associating a community to each multilink where the multilinks characterize the connections existing between any two nodes of the multiplex networ...
