https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20dynamics
Network dynamics is a research field for the study of networks whose status changes in time. The dynamics may refer to the structure of connections of the units of a network, to the collective internal state of the network, or both. The networked systems could be from the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, sociolo...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clique-sum
In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, a clique sum (or clique-sum) is a way of combining two graphs by gluing them together at a clique, analogous to the connected sum operation in topology. If two graphs G and H each contain cliques of equal size, the clique-sum of G and H is formed from their disjoint union by id...
