Higher-order motif analysis in hypergraphs

Recent research has shown that pair interactions in a given network are superseded by higher-order interactions and to incorporate these features into our understanding of a network additional mathematical tools, such as hypergraphs, are required. Here, the authors develop an algorithm to detect mot...

Description
Summary:Recent research has shown that pair interactions in a given network are superseded by higher-order interactions and to incorporate these features into our understanding of a network additional mathematical tools, such as hypergraphs, are required. Here, the authors develop an algorithm to detect motifs in hypergraphs and show how they can be used to identify structural differences in a variety of real-world systems.
