The North–South Asymmetry of Sunspot Relative Numbers Based on Complex Network Technique

Solar magnetic activity exhibits a complex nonlinear behavior, but its dynamic process has not been fully understood. As the complex network technique can better capture the dynamics of nonlinear system, the visibility graphs (VG), the horizontal visibility graphs (HVG), and the limited penetrable v...
