Finding Core-periphery Structure in Directed Networks: An Algorithm for Detecting Multiple-group Core-periphery Structure in Directed Netwoks

The core-periphery structure is a mesoscale topological structure that refers to the presence of a dense core and a sparse periphery. The core-periphery structure has been discovered in financial, biological, and technological networks. Various methods for detecting core-periphery structure have been proposed, exploring different discrete or...

City in Balance: a spatial vision and strategy on the continuity between centre and periphery in Amsterdam
