ABSTRACT

The renormalization group (RG) is a pillar of the theory of scaling, scale-invariance, and universality in physics.  An RG scheme based on diffusion dynamics was recently introduced for complex networks with dyadic interactions, allowing the possibility of coarse-graining networks according to their diffusion properties. We propose a general RG scheme for higher-order networks. Our approach uses a diffusion process to group general hyperedges, according to diffusion processes.

We demonstrate our approach on controlled synthetic higher-order systems and then use it to detect the presence of order-specific scale-invariant profiles of real-world complex systems from multiple domains.
