TL;DR: This work introduces a criterion, the efficiency cost optimization (ECO), to select a threshold based on the optimization of the trade-off between the efficiency of a network and its wiring cost, and proves analytically and through numerical simulations that the connection density maximizing this trade-offs emphasizes the intrinsic properties of a given network, while preserving its sparsity.

TL;DR: It is found that cities share structural similarities due to their quasiplanarity but that there are also several distinctive geometrical properties.

TL;DR: The competition between these two adaptive principles leads to the emergence of key structural properties observed in real world networks, such as modular and scale–free structures, together with a striking enhancement of local synchronization in systems with no global order.

TL;DR: It is found that mobile social networks are very robust to the distributions of altruism due to the nature of multiple paths, including the impact of topologies and traffic patterns.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of the number of layers and the overlap of links, as well as the impact of different synergy factors in different layers, on the onset of cooperation.
