Twin Subgraphs and Core-Semiperiphery-Periphery Structures by Ricardo Riaza

“…The goal is to provide an analytical framework accommodating and extending the idea that the unique (ideal) core-periphery (CP) structure is a 2-partitioned K2, a fact which is here understood to rely on the true and false twin notions for vertices already known in network theory. …”

On supergravity and noncritical strings by Andrea Dei, Pietro Ferrero, Leonardo Rastelli

“…The noncritical string can be viewed as a special case of a discrete series of backgrounds labelled by an integer k (which counts the number of NS5 branes in a certain duality frame); the “noncritical” value is k = 2, while for k → ∞ one recovers a weakly-curved 10d target space. …”

More Benefits of Adding Sparse Random Links to Wireless Networks: Yet Another Case for Hybrid Networks by Gunes Ercal

“…In particular, given a parameter k controlling sparsity, any node has a probability of 1 / k 2 n r 2 for being a wired link station. Amongst the wired link stations, we consider creating a random 3-regular graph superimposed upon the random wireless network to create model G 1 , and alternatively we consider a sparser model G 2 as well, which is a random 1-out graph of the wired links superimposed upon the random wireless network. …”

Inferring causal protein signalling networks from single‐cell data based on parallel discrete artificial bee colony algorithm by Jinduo Liu, Jihao Zhai, Junzhong Ji

“…Specifically, PDABC is a score‐based BN method that utilises the parallel artificial bee colony to search for the global optimal causal protein signalling networks with the highest discrete K2 metric. The experimental results on several simulated datasets, as well as a previously published multi‐parameter fluorescence‐activated cell sorter dataset, indicate that PDABC surpasses the existing state‐of‐the‐art methods in terms of performance and computational efficiency.…”
