Підсумок	Multilayer network analysis is a graph-theoretic framework, formalised by Kivelä et al. (2014) and De Domenico et al. (2013), that represents the same set of nodes simultaneously across multiple relationship layers. Where a single-layer network collapses all relationships into one graph, the multilayer model preserves the distinct relational context of each layer — social platform, biological interaction type, or infrastructure tier — while also modelling how layers couple with each other through interlayer edges.	Network motif analysis is a statistical method for directed networks, introduced by Milo, Shen-Orr, and Alon in 2002, that identifies small recurring subgraph patterns — motifs — that appear significantly more often than would be expected in a comparable random network. By comparing a real network against a null ensemble of randomised graphs, the method reveals the elementary structural building blocks that define the functional organisation of biological regulatory networks, social networks, and other complex systems.
