In recent years the research community has accumulated overwhelming evidence for the
emergence of complex and heterogeneous connectivity patterns in a wide range of …

Coupled biological and chemical systems, neural networks, social interacting species, the
Internet and the World Wide Web, are only a few examples of systems composed by a large …

Statistical physics has proven to be a fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the
realm of traditional physics. Recent years have witnessed an attempt by physicists to study …

Complex systems are very often organized under the form of networks where nodes and
edges are embedded in space. Transportation and mobility networks, Internet, mobile phone …

The availability of large data sets has allowed researchers to uncover complex properties
such as large-scale fluctuations and heterogeneities in many networks, leading to the …

We derive the mean-field equations characterizing the dynamics of a rumor process that
takes place on top of complex heterogeneous networks. These equations are solved …

We introduce a general stochastic model for the spread of rumours, and derive mean-field
equations that describe the dynamics of the model on complex social networks (in particular …

The ongoing rapid expansion of the Word Wide Web (WWW) greatly increases the
information of effective transmission from heterogeneous individuals to various systems …

The propagations of diseases, behaviors and information in real systems are rarely
independent of each other, but they are coevolving with strong interactions. To uncover the …

There are significant differences between rumor spreading and epidemic spreading in social
networks, especially with consideration of the mutual effect of forgetting and remembering …
