Modelling multiplex networks
Multiple networks are complex and highly non-Euclidean objects. This talk will focus on what is known as multiplex networks, representing multiple interaction between the same set of objects, but where the interactions may be of several different types. We shall discuss how a graph limit framework can be used for such objects, and how to naturally characterise the complexity of the whole system of interactions. This characterisation will be used on complexity measures introduced in information theory, and the notion of entropy. This gives us a tool to generally think about systems of relationship.
