Abstract

Networks, or graphs (a collection of nodes with edges connecting them), have long been studied in a prolific branch of mathematics known as “graph theory” and are often used by scientists to model the structure of many complex systems, ranging from technological systems [1–3] and biological systems [4, 5] to social systems [6, 7] and economic systems [8, 9].
