Allometric Scaling of Mutual Information in Complex Networks: A Conceptual Framework and Empirical Approach

Allometric Scaling of Mutual Information in Complex Networks: A Conceptual Framework and Empirical Approach

Complexity and information theory are two very valuable but distinct fields of research, yet sharing the same roots. Here, we develop a complexity framework inspired by the allometric scaling laws of living biological systems in order to evaluate the structural features of networks. This is done by...
