Measuring the Structure of Road Networks (2007, background): “Sole and Valverde (2004) introduced information theory to measure the heterogeneity of complex networks by categorizing nodes according to their degrees.”
An information-theoretic primer on complexity, self-organization, and emergence (2009, methodology): “Following Sol´e and Valverde [61], we use these probability distributions in deﬁning • the Shannon entropy of the network, that measures the diversity of the degree distribution or the network’s heterogeneity: • the joint entropy measuring of the average uncertainty of the network as a whole (23) e…”
