Close and ordinary social contacts: how important are they in promoting large-scale contagion?
Peng-Bi Cui, Wei Wang, Shi-Min Cai +2
An outstanding problem of interdisciplinary interest is to understand quantitatively the role of social contacts in contagion dynamics. In general, there are two types of contacts:…
Mutually cooperative epidemics on power-law networks
Peng-Bi Cui, Francesca Colaiori, Claudio Castellano
The spread of an infectious disease can, in some cases, promote the propagation of other pathogens favouring violent outbreaks, which cause a discontinuous transition to an endemic…
Network localization governs social contagion dynamics with macro-level reinforcement
Leyang Xue, Kai-Cheng Yang, Peng-Bi Cui +1
The spread of ideas, behaviors, and technologies generally depends on feedback mechanisms operating across multiple scales. Previous studies have extensively examined pairwise tran…
Macro-level reinforcement tunes the transition order of reversible social contagion
Guanyu Zhang, Peng-Bi Cui
Social contagion is often shaped by reinforcement: individuals become more likely to adopt a new behavior, opinion, or product as exposure accumulates or adoption becomes widely vi…
Exploring the formation dynamics of affective polarization by considering a coupled feedback
Peng-Bi Cui
Polarization issue is generally subject to ideological polarization and affective polarization. In particular, affective polarization usually accelerates the polarization process a…
Exploring the foundation of social diversity and coherence with a novel attraction-repulsion model framework
Peng-Bi Cui
One widely-existed state --``harmony with diversity" in which individuals freely express various viewpoints to sustain integration of social diversity, but at the same time shared…
Network localization strength regulates innovation diffusion with macro-level social influence
Leyang Xue, Kai-Cheng Yang, Peng-Bi Cui +1
Innovation diffusion in the networked population is an essential process that drives the progress of human society. Despite the recent advances in network science, a fundamental un…
Identifying the structure patterns to govern the performance of localization in regulating innovation diffusion
Leyang Xue, Peng-Bi Cui, Zengru Di
The macro social influence is recognized as a non-negligible ingredient in innovation propagation: more adopters in the network lead to a higher adoption tendency for the rest indi…
Effect of network clustering on mutually cooperative coinfections
Peng-Bi Cui, Francesca Colaiori, Claudio Castellano
The spread of an infectious disease can be promoted by previous infections with other pathogens. This cooperative effect can give rise to violent outbreaks, reflecting the presence…
Epidemic spreading dynamics with drug-resistant and heterogeneous contacts
Peng-Bi Cui, Lei Gao, Wei Wang
Drug resistance and strong contacts actually play crucial roles in epidemic spread in complex systems. Nevertheless, neither theoretical model or methodology is proposed to address…
Small world yields optimal public goods in presence of both altruistic and selfish cooperators
Peng-Bi Cui, Zhi-Xi Wu, Tao Zhou
Empirical studies have shown that individuals' behaviors are largely influenced by social conformity, including punishment. However, a coevolutionary theoretical framework that tak…
