In this work, we study the topological transition in a model proposed by Saeedian \textit{et al.} (Scientific Reports 2019 \textbf{9}:9726), which considers a coupled dynamics of node and link states, on the network known as random geometric graph (RGG). In that approach, each node has two...

In this paper we test the celebrated `Strength of weak ties' theory of Granovetter (1973). We test two hypotheses on the network structure in a data set of collaborating economists. While we find support for the hypothesis of transitivity of strong ties, we reject the hypothesis that weak ties...
