Dynamical Processes on Complex Networks

　　The availability of large data sets has allowed researchers touncover complex properties such as large scale fluctuations andheterogeneities in many networks, leading to the breakdown ofstandard theoretical frameworks and models. Until recently thesesystems were considered as haphazard sets of points andconnections. Recent advances have generated a vigorous researcheffort in understanding the effect of complex connectivity patternson dynamical phenomena. This book presents a comprehensive accountof these effects. A vast number of systems, from the brain toecosystems, power grids and the internet, can be represented aslarge complex networks. This book will interest graduate studentsand researchers in many disciplines, from physics and statisticalmechanics, to mathematical biology and information science. Itsmodular approach allows readers to readily access the sections ofmost interest to them, and complicated maths is avoided so the textcan be easily followed by non-experts in the subject.
