Detecting contagious spreading of urban innovations on the global city network
Niklas H. Kitzmann, Pawel Romanczuk, Jonathan F. Donges
Only a fast and global transformation towards decarbonization and sustainability can keep the Earth in a civilization-friendly state. As hotspots for (green) innovation and experim…
Resilience basins of complex systems: an application to prosumer impacts on power grids
Samuel Bien, Paul Schultz, Jobst Heitzig +1
Comparable to the traditional notion of stability in system dynamics, resilience is typically measured in a way that assesses the quality of a system's response, for example the sp…
Complex networks of interacting stochastic tipping elements: cooperativity of phase separation in the large-system limit
Jan Kohler, Nico Wunderling, Jonathan F. Donges +1
Tipping elements in the Earth System receive increased scientific attention over the recent years due to their nonlinear behavior and the risks of abrupt state changes. While being…
A dynamic network model of societal complexity and resilience inspired by Tainter's theory of collapse
Florian Schunck, Marc Wiedermann, Jobst Heitzig +1
In recent years, several global events have severely disrupted economies and social structures, undermining confidence in the resilience of modern societies. While empirical eviden…
Modelling nonlinear dynamics of interacting tipping elements on complex networks: the PyCascades package
Nico Wunderling, Jonathan Krönke, Valentin Wohlfarth +6
Tipping elements occur in various systems such as in socio-economics, ecology and the climate system. In many cases, the individual tipping elements are not independent from each o…
Dynamics of collective action to conserve a large common-pool resource
David Andersson, Sigrid Bratsberg, Andrew K. Ringsmuth +1
A pressing challenge for coming decades is sustainable and just management of large-scale common-pool resources including the atmosphere, biodiversity and public services. This pos…
Social tipping processes for sustainability: An analytical framework
Ricarda Winkelmann, Jonathan F. Donges, E. Keith Smith +7
Societal transformations are necessary to address critical global challenges, such as mitigation of anthropogenic climate change and reaching UN sustainable development goals. Rece…
A network-based microfoundation of Granovetter's threshold model for social tipping
Marc Wiedermann, E. Keith Smith, Jobst Heitzig +1
Social tipping, where minorities trigger larger populations to engage in collective action, has been suggested as one key aspect in addressing contemporary global challenges. Here,…
Earth system modeling with endogenous and dynamic human societies: the copan:CORE open World-Earth modeling framework
Jonathan F. Donges, Jobst Heitzig, Wolfram Barfuss +9
Analysis of Earth system dynamics in the Anthropocene requires to explicitly take into account the increasing magnitude of processes operating in human societies, their cultures, e…
Deep reinforcement learning in World-Earth system models to discover sustainable management strategies
Felix M. Strnad, Wolfram Barfuss, Jonathan F. Donges +1
Increasingly complex, non-linear World-Earth system models are used for describing the dynamics of the biophysical Earth system and the socio-economic and socio-cultural World of h…
The physics of governance networks: critical transitions in contagion dynamics on multilayer adaptive networks with application to the sustainable use of renewable resources
Fabian Geier, Wolfram Barfuss, Marc Wiedermann +2
Adaptive networks are a versatile approach to model phenomena such as contagion and spreading dynamics, critical transitions and structure formation that emerge from the dynamic co…
The technosphere in Earth system analysis: a coevolutionary perspective
Jonathan F. Donges, Wolfgang Lucht, Finn Müller-Hansen +1
Earth system analysis is the study of the joint dynamics of biogeophysical, social and technological processes on our planet. To advance our understanding of possible future develo…
Zealotry Effects on Opinion Dynamics in the Adaptive Voter Model
Pascal P. Klamser, Marc Wiedermann, Jonathan F. Donges +1
The adaptive voter model has been widely studied as a conceptual model for opinion formation processes on time-evolving social networks. Past studies on the effect of zealots, i.e.…
Spatial network surrogates for disentangling complex system structure from spatial embedding of nodes
Marc Wiedermann, Jonathan F. Donges, Jürgen Kurths +1
Networks with nodes embedded in a metric space have gained increasing interest in recent years. The effects of spatial embedding on the networks' structural characteristics, howeve…
Event coincidence analysis for quantifying statistical interrelationships between event time series: on the role of flood events as possible triggers of epidemic outbreaks
Jonathan F. Donges, Carl-Friedrich Schleussner, Jonatan F. Siegmund +1
Studying event time series is a powerful approach for analyzing the dynamics of complex dynamical systems in many fields of science. In this paper, we describe the method of event…
Macroscopic description of complex adaptive networks co-evolving with dynamic node states
Marc Wiedermann, Jonathan F. Donges, Jobst Heitzig +2
In many real-world complex systems, the time-evolution of the network's structure and the dynamic state of its nodes are closely entangled. Here, we study opinion formation and imi…
Node-weighted interacting network measures improve the representation of real-world complex systems
Marc Wiedermann, Jonathan F. Donges, Jobst Heitzig +1
Network theory provides a rich toolbox consisting of methods, measures, and models for studying the structure and dynamics of complex systems found in nature, society, or technolog…
