Why would natural selection favor the prevalence of cooperation within the groups of selfish
individuals? A fruitful framework to address this question is evolutionary game theory, the …

Networks form the backbone of many complex systems, ranging from the Internet to human
societies. Accordingly, not only is the range of our interactions limited and thus best …

How to understand the propagation properties of infectious diseases among the population
is an important topic in the field of epidemic modelling. In this paper, we investigate the …

Modeling and analyses of complex systems using network theory have been an object of

How to assess the importance of nodes in the network is an open question. There are many
ways to identify the importance of nodes in complex networks. However, these methods …

How to identify influential nodes in complex networks continues to be an open issue. A
