Ranking species in complex ecosystems through nestedness maximization

Identifying the rank of species in a complex ecosystem is a difficult task since the rank of each species invariably depends on the interactions stipulated with other species through the network’s adjacency matrix. A common ranking method in economic and ecological networks is to sort the nodes such that the layout of the reordered adjacency […]

Complexity for economic and technological development

la ricerca Physics, through the theory of complex systems and statistical physics, has provided essential quantitative tools to tackle socio-economic challenges that classical disciplines often fail to interpret. While it is not possible to conduct direct experiments, time series and statistical properties can be analyzed to predict the collective behavior of systems. With this vision […]
