Preferred term

bipartite networks  

Definition

  • Bipartite networks refer to a specific kind of network in which the nodes (or actors) can be partitioned into two subsets based on the fact that no links exist between actors within each subset, but only between the two subsets. Due to the partition of actors in two sets and the absence of relations within the parts, bipartite networks form a specific type of complete network, which differs from classic complete networks in a number of ways.
