Summary
We developed a framework to reconstruct complex networks with many-body interactions from time-series data. This method accurately identifies network connections and topology, even with noisy data.
Area of Science:
- Network Science
- Complex Systems
- Statistical Inference
Background:
- Prior research focused on reconstructing networks with pairwise interactions.
- Growing interest in higher-order (many-body) interactions necessitates new reconstruction methods.
- Observational data requires robust techniques for inferring complex network structures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a general framework for reconstructing 2-simplicial complexes with two- and three-body interactions.
- To utilize binary time-series data from discrete-state dynamics for network reconstruction.
- To improve reconstruction accuracy and computational efficiency.
Main Methods:
- Combined statistical inference and expectation maximization.
- Developed a two-step scheme for enhanced accuracy and reduced computational load.
- Validated using synthetic and real-world 2-simplicial complex data.
Main Results:
- Successfully reconstructed 2-simplicial complexes with two- and three-body interactions.
- All network connections were faithfully identified.
- The full topology of the complexes was accurately inferred.
Conclusions:
- The proposed framework effectively reconstructs complex networks with higher-order interactions.
- The method demonstrates robustness against noisy data and stochastic disturbances.
- Enables detailed topological inference from observational time-series data.

23.8K
Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.

01:10Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation

Signal processing techniques are essential for accurately converting continuous signals to digital formats and vice versa. When a continuous signal is sampled with a period T, the resulting sampled signal exhibits replicas of the original spectrum in the frequency domain, spaced at intervals equal to the sampling frequency. To handle this sampled signal, a zero-order hold method can be applied, which creates a piecewise constant signal by retaining each sample's value until the next...

537
Castigliano's theorem analyzes displacements and rotations in elastic structures. It relates the derivative of elastic strain energy to the applied forces or moments, allowing for the calculation of deformations. The theorem states that the partial derivative of the total strain energy of a system with respect to a specific load results in the displacement at the point where the load is applied. This principle applies to both forces and moments.

16.1K
Transposons make up a significant part of genomes of various organisms. Therefore, it is believed that transposition played a major evolutionary role in speciation by changing genome sizes and modifying gene expression patterns. For example, in bacteria, transposition can lead to conferring antibiotic resistance. Movement of transposable elements within the genetic pool of pathogenic bacteria can aid in transfer of antibiotic-resistant genetic elements. In eukaryotes, transposons can carry out...

01:19Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
3.0K
A thermodynamic system with zero heat exchange and work is an isolated system. For these systems, the internal energy remains constant.
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
