- Network theory applies graph models to systems of interconnected elements, studying properties such as degree distribution, clustering, centrality and path length. It draws on mathematics, physics and computer science.
- It is used to analyse social, biological, technological and information networks. Measures of centrality and community structure help identify important nodes and groups within a network.
