Structural constraints in networks
Structural constraints in networks
Dr. Shi Zhou and his team introduced novel link rewiring algorithms to explore the structural constraints in complex networks, for example, they revealed that a network’s degree distribution has little constraint on the network’s rich-club structure.
Second-order assortative mixing in social networks
Second-order assortative mixing in social networks
They reported that many social networks exhibit the second-order assortative mixing, often significantly stronger than the first-order assortative mixing. This property revealed novel insights into how social networks were formed.
Network visualisation by the Bitmap of Sorted Adjacent Matrix (BOSAM)
Network visualisation by the Bitmap of Sorted Adjacent Matrix (BOSAM)
His team introduced a novel network visualisation technique, called the bitmap of sorted adjacent matrix (BOSAM). It is an effective tool to study and compare complex networks.
