Geometric Network Comparisons

چکیده
Network analysis needs tools to compare networks and assess the significance of differences between networks. We propose a principled statistical approach to network comparison that approximates networks as probability distributions on negatively curved manifolds. We outline the theory, as well as implement the approach on simulated networks, where its accuracy can be confirmed.

Developing a 3D stochastic discrete fracture network model for hydraulic analyses
Fluid flow in jointed rock mass with impermeable matrix is often controlled by joint properties, including aperture, orientation, spacing, persistence and etc. On the other hand, since the rock mass is made of heterogeneous and anisotropic natural materials, geometric properties of joints may have dispersed values. One of the most powerful methods for simulation of stochastic nature of geometri...
متن کاملAn integrative approach to modelling biological networks
Since proteins carry out biological processes by interacting with other proteins, analyzing the structure of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks could explain complex biological mechanisms, evolution, and disease. Similarly, studying protein structure networks, residue interaction graphs (RIGs), might provide insights into protein folding, stability, and function. The first step towards ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Urban Network Features on the Quality of Traffic Service (RESEARCH NOTE)
The work reported here presents a methodology based on a two-fluid model to assess the degree of influence of various geometric and control features of an urban network on the quality of traffic service. The two-fluid model gives a curvilinear relation between the trip time and stop time per unit distance and its parameters characterize the quality of traffic service in urban networks. Any Chan...
متن کاملInverse Identification of Circular Cavity in a 2D Object via Boundary Temperature Measurements Using Artificial Neural Network
In geometric inverse problems, it is assumed that some parts of domain boundaries are not accessible and geometric shape and dimensions of these parts cannot be measured directly. The aim of inverse geometry problems is to approximate the unknown boundary shape by conducting some experimental measurements on accessible surfaces. In the present paper, the artificial neural network is used to sol...
متن کاملThinking Out of the Grid and Inside the Spiral – Geometric Interpretations of and Comparisons with the Spiral Array Model
This paper presents a geometric interpretation of the Spiral Array model and its comparison to Lerdahl's Tonal Pitch Space and Krumhansl's spatial representation of pitch relations. The Spiral Array model is derived from a three-dimensional configuration of the Harmonic Network. The fundamental idea underlying the model is the representing of higher-level objects in the spiral's interior as con...
