The scientific understanding of phenomena around us depends on devising a formal model of reality, which is iteratively tested and further developed based on comparison with observations, and which, ...

Complex networks, ranging from biological systems to technological and social infrastructures, have long intrigued researchers with their intricate connectivity and emergent behaviours. Recent ...

We have built a world of largely straight lines – the houses we live in, the skyscrapers we work in and the streets we drive on our daily commutes. Yet outside our boxes, nature teams with frilly, ...

Reducing redundant information to find simplifying patterns in data sets and complex networks is a scientific challenge in many knowledge fields. Moreover, detecting the dimensionality of the data is ...

In mathematics, hyperbolic geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry, meaning that the parallel postulate of Euclidean geometry is rejected. The parallel postulate in Euclidean geometry states, for two ...

Geometry boasts a rich and captivating history within the realm of mathematics. In its early development, it was deeply rooted in practical observation used to describe essential concepts such as ...

Hyperbolic space is a Pringle-like alternative to flat, Euclidean geometry where the normal rules don’t apply: angles of a triangle add up to less than 180 degrees and Euclid’s parallel postulate, ...
