The Dutch Soccer Team as a Social Network

Although being very popular all around the globe, soccer has not received much attention from the scientific community. In this paper we will study the Dutch Soccer Team from the perspective of complex networks. In the DST network every node corresponds to a player that has played an official match for the Dutch Soccer Team. A node is connected...

Characterization of complex networks: Application to robustness analysis

This thesis focuses on the topological characterization of complex networks. It specifically focuses on those elementary graph measures that are of interest when quantifying topology-related aspects of the robustness of complex networks. This thesis makes the following contributions to the field of complex networks. Firstly, the thesis analyses...

Het Nederlands elftal als complex netwerk

In de zomer van 2008, tijdens het Europees Kampioenschap voetbal in Zwitserland en Oostenrijk, zullen weer miljoenen mensen de verrichtingen van het Nederlands elftal op de voet volgen. Ondanks het feit dat voetbal razend populair is, bestaat er vanuit de wetenschappelijke wereld relatief weinig interesse voor voetbal. In dit artikel bestuderen...
