In this work we investigate, in a quantitative way, the efficiency of multiplex diffusion as a function of the topological similarity among multiplex layers. This similarity is measured by the distance between layers, taken among the pairs of layers. Results are presented for a simple two-layer multiplex, where one of the layers is held fixed, while the other one can be rewired in a controlled way in order to increase or decrease the interlayer distance. The results indicate that, for fixed values of all intra- and interlayer diffusion coefficients, a large interlayer distance generally enhances the global multiplex diffusion, providing a topological mechanism to control the global diffusive process. For some sets of networks, we develop an algorithm to identify the most sensitive nodes in the rewirable layer, so that changes in a small set of connections produce a drastic enhancement of the global diffusion of the whole multiplex system. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E19 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/FIS/2015-71582-C2 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2014-55867-P info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 2.284 2017 PHYSICS, MATHEMATICAL 7 / 55 = 0.127 2017 Q1 T1 PHYSICS, FLUIDS & PLASMAS 12 / 31 = 0.387 2017 Q2 T2 0.979 2017 Condensed Matter Physics 2017 Q1 Statistical and Nonlinear Physics 2017 Q1 Statistics and Probability 2017 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Gómez Gardeñes, Jesús Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5204-1937 Andrade, Roberto FS 2003 395 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
