Abstract
This chapter is written with graduate students in mind. During the very encouraging meeting at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) for the CIMPA-UNESCO-MESR-MINECO-South Africa Research School on “Evolutionary Equations with Applications in Natural Sciences” I noticed a great interest of graduate and postgraduate students in the field of complex networks. This chapter is then an elementary introduction to the field of complex networks, not only about the dynamical processes taking place on them, as originally planned, but also about the structural concepts needed to understand such dynamical processes. At the end of this chapter I will provide some basic material for the further study of the topics covered here, apart from the references cited in the main text. This is aimed to help students to navigate the vast literature that has been generated in the last 15 years of studying complex networks from an interdisciplinary point of view.
