A dynamic network is a network whose structure changes because of the emergence and disappearance of node or edges. It can be used to study complex systems where individuals in a system are represented as nodes and their relations/interactions are represented as edges. Studying dynamic network structures helps to better understand changes in relationships. Considerable work has been conducted on learning network structure. However, due to the complexity of dynamic networks, there is considerable room for improvement to obtain better analysis results. This thesis studies different aspects of characteristic and dynamics of a network, focusing on their application in link …
