Reconstructing networks from simple and complex contagions

NW Landry, W Thompson, L Hébert-Dufresne… - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Network scientists often use complex dynamic processes to describe network contagions,
but tools for fitting contagion models typically assume simple dynamics. Here, we address …

Distinguishing mechanisms of social contagion from local network view

E Andres, G Ódor, I Iacopini, M Karsai - arxiv preprint arxiv:2406.18519, 2024 - arxiv.org

peers via social interactions or from external sources. Based on these influences, individuals …

Competition between simple and complex contagion on temporal networks

E Andres, R Pastor-Satorras, M Starnini… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Behavioral adoptions are influenced by peers in different ways. While some individuals may
change after a single incoming influence, others need multiple cumulated attempts. These …
