Morphogenesis of Spatial Networks, 1st ed. 2018 Lecture Notes in Morphogenesis Series

This book develops a morphodynamical approach of spatial networks with a particular emphasis on infrastructure networks such as streets, roads and transportation networks (subway, train). The author presents the mathematical tools needed to characterize these structures and how they evolve in time. The book discusses the most important empirical results and stylized facts, and will present the most important models of spatial networks. The target audience primarily comprises research scientists interested in this rapidly evolving and highly interdisciplinary field, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students interested in large networks.

Provides the first comprehensive presentation of state-of-the-art knowledge about spatial networks

Covers both empirical results and theoretical models

Addresses a broad audience comprising physicists, geographers, urbanists as well as applied mathematicians

Presents a truly interdisciplinary approach to the topic
