Abstract:
Random matrices technique (RMT) is a powerful tool widely used in theoretical physics. Due to its universality , recently it has been widely used in the context of complex networks for describing structural properties.After a short introduction to RMT and its feature , I will explain in which way it can be used to describe the topology of a network, and to distinguish among networks of different topologies. At the same time I'll sketch a possible way to apply RMT to describe the dynamics on a network.Bio: Dr. Apolloni is currently a post-doc at NDSSL, Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, Virginia Tech.
