Multinets play an important role in the study of resonance varieties of the complement of a complex hyperplane arrangement and very few examples are known. Implementing this method, numerous new and interesting examples of multinets are identified. These examples provide additional evidence supporting the conjecture of Pereira and Yuzvinsky that all multinets are degenerations of nets. Also, a complete description is given of proper weak multinets, a generalization of multinets.en-USAll Rights Reserved.Hyperplane arrangementsMulti-arrangementsMultinetsNetsPencil of plane curvesResonance varieitiesElectronic Thesis or Dissertation
