The merging of neighbor vertices in a network may be viewed as an optimization of efficiency by minimizing redundancy. It is also a mechanism to shorten the distance and thus decrease signaling times between vertices in a complex network. Thus the merging process will in particular be relevant for networks where these issues related to global signaling are of concern.
