“…Among many others, examples include linking the structural motifs of proteins and their function, 2 , 3 , 4 aiding the diagnosis of diseases using fMRI data, 5 understanding structural properties of organic crystal structures for electron transport, 6 or modeling network flows, e.g., city traffic, 7 information (or misinformation) spread in a social network, 8 , 9 or topic affinity in a citation network. 10 The growing importance of such network data has driven the development of a multitude of methods for investigating and revealing relevant topological, combinatorial, statistical, and spectral properties of graphs, e.g., node centralities, 11 , 12 assortativity, 13 , 14 path-based properties, 15 graph distance measures, 16 , 17 connectivity, 18 or community detection, 19 , 20 to name but a few in the highly interdisciplinary area of network science.…”
