The Multiplex Efficiency Index: unveiling the Brazilian air transportation multiplex network-BATMN.

ABSTRACT: Modern society is increasingly massively connected, reflecting an omnipresent tendency to organize social, economic, and technological structures in complex networks. Recently, with the advent of the so-called multiplex networks, new concepts and tools were necessary to better understand the characteristics of this type of system, as well as to analyze and quantify its performance and efficiency. The concept of diversity in multiplex networks is a striking example of this intrinsically interdisciplinary effort to better understand the nature of complex networks. In this work, we introduce the Multiplex Efficiency Index, which allows quantifying the temporal evolution of connectivity diversity, particularly when the number of layers of the multiplex network varies over time. Using data rela
