Title: Structure and dynamics of mutlilayer networks

Abstract: Many complex systems, from infrastructures to the brain, cannot be fully understood if we don’t consider their multilayer network structure. The multiplexity of these structures is characterized by new types of correlations. This presents a challenge for building theoretical frameworks able to generate multilayer networks with the desired correlation patterns. Moreover, the multiplexity of multilayer networks can have very significant effects on the dynamics taking place on them. Here we will discuss recent results on modelling the structure of multilayer networks and characterizing their robustness.
