“…The research approaches considered below, i.e., profiling (see Section 6.1), self-regulatory mechanisms (see Section 6.2), and the passive linkage as weak forces (see Section 7), fall into the field of the contributions devoted to managing and controlling [3] complex networks as complex systems [59], when multiple levels of representation are required as well as the expansion of models from statistical physics integrating the notion of feedback, extension of control theory approaches [60], and mesoscopic analysis and mesoscopic variables.…”

This article, based on network science, aims to contribute to overcoming its geometric and technological phases. The novelty consists in considering links of networks as linked by superimposed networks, termed here multiple superimposed soft networks (MSSN), which is introduced as a research issue. Such links of links (termed here as passive links) concern, for instance, correspondences, incompatibilities, and temporal synchronizations between the occurrences of pairs of active links of effective networks, such as those based on electrical and telecommunication. A possible constitutive mechanism of such passive linkage consists of linkage representations for practices and histories of use expressed by their validating statistical reoccurrences. We consider the possible emergent nature of the passive linkage. The reason for introducing the design and usage of MSSN properties as a research issue involves making new approaches to profile and manage networks available. Correspondence between active linkage and MSSN properties should be a matter for an experiential, machine-learning approach. Research issues relate their possible usage on the active linkage such as for classification, comparations, detection of criticalities, diagnosis, performance evaluation, and regulatory as weak forces. Furthermore, the possible identification of standard corresponding configurations of passive and active linkage are finalized to avoid their establishment or, conversely, in facilitating their establishment and keeping their replication in different contexts (or partially and in combinations) and identifying related standardized approaches (also for classes of configurations having significant levels of equivalence). This research project has methodological generalizing aspects of trans-disciplinarity. We conclude by mentioning related research issues.

However, in certain scenarios, such as emerging infectious diseases lacking targeted drugs and vaccines, non-pharmacological interventions become necessary [53].…”

In the face of persistent threats posed by infectious diseases, despite remarkable medical advancements, understanding and efficiently controlling their spatial spread through mathematical modeling remain imperative. Networked reaction-diffusion systems offer a promising avenue to effectively delineate population discrete distribution and individual movement heterogeneity. However, the dynamics of spatial diseases within these systems and the formulation of optimal control strategies are currently undergoing vigorous development. In this letter, we illustrate the dynamics of spatial disease spread in networked reaction-diffusion systems through the lens of optimal control, considering various network complexities from pairwise networks to higher-order networks. It then emphasizes their applicability in designing effective spatial disease control strategies across diverse network complexities. Finally, we discuss the existing challenges.

“…It was not until the recent last few decades-after Watts and Strogatz proposed the small-world network model [10] and Barabási and Albert proposed the scale-free network model [11,12], that the number of studies on complex networks increased significantly. Numerous scholars have studied complex networks from the perspective of complex network models, as well as analysed the topological features of different models and their applications [13][14][15][16], which have continuously promoted the development of complex network-related research.…”

Network attack and defence games are gradually becoming a new approach through which to study the protection of infrastructure networks such as power grids and transportation networks. Uncertainty factors, such as the subjective decision preferences of attackers and defenders, are not considered in existing attack and defence game studies for infrastructure networks. In this paper, we introduce, respectively, the attacker’s and defender’s expectation value, rejection value, and hesitation degree of the target, as well as construct an intuitionistic fuzzy goal-based attack and defence game model for infrastructure networks that are based on the maximum connectivity slice size, which is a network performance index. The intuitionistic fuzzy two-player, zero-sum game model is converted into a linear programming problem for solving, and the results are analysed to verify the applicability and feasibility of the model proposed in this paper. Furthermore, different situations, such as single-round games and multi-round repeated games, are also considered. The experimental results show that, when attacking the network, the attacker rarely attacks the nodes with higher importance in the network, but instead pays more attention to the nodes that are not prominent in the network neutrality and median; meanwhile, the defender is more inclined to protect the more important nodes in the network to ensure the normal performance of the network.
