In the past few years, the study of complex networks has attracted the attention of researchers. Many real networks, ranging from technological networks such as the Internet to biological networks, have been considered as special types of complex networks. Through application of the network science, important structural properties of such networks have been analyzed and the mechanisms that form su... View full abstract»

Multilayer networks are a useful data structure for simultaneously capturing multiple types of relationships between a set of nodes. In such networks, each relational definition gives rise to a layer. While each layer provides its own set of information, community structure across layers can be collectively utilized to discover and quantify underlying relational patterns between nodes. To concisel... View full abstract»

In this paper we propose a framework for enhancing synchronizability of networks with community structure through adding efficient inter-community links. Adding new inter-community links to a network with community structure usually improves its synchronizability. However, this is achieved by increasing communication cost in the network. Thus, the links should be designed in a way that adding them... View full abstract»
