The geometric nature of weights in real complex networks

Complex networks have been conjectured to be hidden in metric spaces, which offer geometric interpretation of networks’ topologies. Here the authors extend this concept to weighted networks, providing empirical evidence on the metric natures of weights, which are shown to be reproducible by a gravit...

Description
Summary:Complex networks have been conjectured to be hidden in metric spaces, which offer geometric interpretation of networks’ topologies. Here the authors extend this concept to weighted networks, providing empirical evidence on the metric natures of weights, which are shown to be reproducible by a gravity model.
