Nonmonotonic percolation threshold in correlated networks and hypergraphs

L. D. Valdez, C. E. La Rocca

We study the effect of assortative and disassortative mixing on the robustness of networks under random node failures. For ordinary (dyadic) networks, by using the generating funct…

Superexponential growth of epidemics in networks with cliques

L. D. Valdez

Many dynamic processes on complex networks, from disease outbreaks to cascading failures, can rapidly accelerate once a critical threshold is exceeded, potentially leading to sever…

Recovery of contour nodes in interdependent directed networks

Ignacio A. Perez, Cristian E. La Rocca

Extensive research has focused on studying the robustness of interdependent non-directed networks and the design of mitigation strategies aimed at reducing disruptions caused by ca…

Critical behavior of cascading failures in overloaded networks

Ignacio A. Perez, Dana Ben Porath, Cristian E. La Rocca +2

While network abrupt breakdowns due to overloads and cascading failures have been studied extensively, the critical exponents and the universality class of such phase transitions h…

Epidemic control in networks with cliques

L. D. Valdez, L. Vassallo, L. A. Braunstein

Social units, such as households and schools, can play an important role in controlling epidemic outbreaks. In this work, we study an epidemic model with a prompt quarantine measur…

Peak fraction of infected in epidemic spreading for multi-community networks

Jing Ma, Xiangyi Meng, Lidia A. Braunstein

One of the most effective strategies to mitigate the global spreading of a pandemic (e.g., COVID-19) is to shut down international airports. From a network theory perspective, this…
