This study examines the evolution of public debt among the 27 EU member states using Graph Theory tools; the Threshold Weighted-Minimum Dominating Set (TW-MDS) and the k-core decomposition method, alongside a standard network quantitative metric, the density. By separating the data into three...

The evolution of the convergence among the European countries, including both Eurozone as well as non-Eurozone economies, is investigated in this paper. To do so, we construct correlation-based networks and study them by employing the Threshold Weighted-Minimum Dominating Set (TW-MDS) algorithm...

Many networks such as the Internet have been found to possess scale-free and small-world network properties reflected by so-called power law distributions. Scale-free properties evolve in large complex networks through self-organizing processes and more specifically, preferential attachment. New...
