The dynamic nature of percolation on networks with triadic interactions

Hanlin Sun, Filippo Radicchi, Jürgen Kurths +1

Percolation establishes the connectivity of complex networks and is one of the most fundamental critical phenomena for the study of complex systems. On simple networks, percolation…

Shortest-path percolation on scale-free networks

Minsuk Kim, Lorenzo Cirigliano, Claudio Castellano +4

The shortest-path percolation (SPP) model aims at describing the consumption and eventual exhaustion of a network's resources. Starting from a network containing a macroscopic conn…

Unveiling the Importance of Nonshortest Paths in Quantum Networks

Xinqi Hu, Gaogao Dong, Kim Christensen +7

Quantum networks (QNs) exhibit stronger connectivity than predicted by classical percolation, yet the origin of this phenomenon remains unexplored. We apply a statistical physics m…

Critical time-dependent branching process modelling epidemic spreading with containment measures

Hanlin Sun, Ivan Kryven, Ginestra Bianconi

During the COVID pandemic, periods of exponential growth of the disease have been mitigated by containment measures that in different occasions have resulted in a power-law growth…

Enforcing Priority in Schedule-based User Equilibrium Transit Assignment

Liyang Feng, Hanlin Sun, Yu Marco Nie +2

Denied boarding in congested transit systems induces queuing delays and departure-time shifts that can reshape passenger flows. Correctly modeling these responses in transit assign…

Spatio-temporal activity patterns induced by triadic interactions in an in silico neural medium

Ana P. Millán, Hanlin Sun, Joaquín J. Torres

Triadic interactions are general mechanisms by which a node or neuron can regulate directly the link or synapse between other two neurons. The regulation takes place in a familiar…

A message-passing approach to epidemic tracing and mitigation with apps

Ginestra Bianconi, Hanlin Sun, Giacomo Rapisardi +1

With the hit of new pandemic threats, scientific frameworks are needed to understand the unfolding of the epidemic. The use of mobile apps that are able to trace contacts is of utm…

Triadic percolation induces dynamical topological patterns in higher-order networks

Ana P. Millán, Hanlin Sun, Joaquìn J. Torres +1

Triadic interactions are higher-order interactions that occur when a set of nodes affects the interaction between two other nodes. Examples of triadic interactions are present in t…

Triadic percolation on multilayer networks

Hanlin Sun, Filippo Radicchi, Ginestra Bianconi

Triadic interactions are special types of higher-order interactions that occur when regulator nodes modulate the interactions between other two or more nodes. In presence of triadi…
