Complex networks is an area of intense current research with prevalent applications in a number of domains including communication, transport and power networks, biological regulatory networks and social networks. The last two decades have seen a great deal of progress in research on the structure and properties of such networks, and on algorithms operating over networks. With the recent appointment of staff in the area of complexity, with increasing student interest in modelling and analysing these areas of application, and with the current state of the subject, now is an opportune time to offer new units in this exciting area.
The lectures for this unit will be delivered in common with those for the proposed Level 6 unit Complex Networks 3 (MATH 36201), but successful completion of this unit will require greater depth of understanding and independent learning than that required for the Level 6 unit.
