Abstract
Real world complex networks often exhibit multiplex structure, connecting entities from different aspects of physical systems such as social, transportation and biological networks. Little is known about general properties of such networks across disciplines. In this work, we first investigate how consistent are connectivity patterns across 35 real world multiplex networks. We demonstrate that entanglement homogeneity and intensity, two measures of layer consistency, indicate apparent differences between social and biological networks. We also investigate trade, co-authorship and transport networks. We show that real networks can be separated in the joint space of homogeneity and intensity, demonstrating the usefulness of the two measures for categorization of real multiplex networks. Finally, we design a multiplex network generator, where similar patterns (as observed in real networks), are emerging over the analysis of 11{,}905 synthetic multiplex networks with various topological properties.
