We analyse a huge and very precise trace of contact data collected during 6 months on the entire population of a rehabilitation hospital. We investigate the graph structure of the average daily contact network. Our main results are to unveil striking properties of this structure in the considered hospital, and to present a methodology that can be used for analysing any dynamic complex network w...

Abstract – Understanding the interactions among nodes in a complex network is of great importance, since they disclose how these nodes are cooperatively supporting the functioning of the network. Scientists have developed numerous methods to uncover the underlying adjacent physical connectivity based on measurements of functional quantities of the nodes states. Often, the physical connectivity,...
