Crowding controls the scaling of bus frequency with demand

Siddharth Patwardhan, Şirag Erkol, Filippo Radicchi +1

Cities must allocate limited resources to maintain mobility, with uncertainties about the resulting state of the system. Analyzing roughly 3,000 bus routes with more than 4 billion…

Competition between private and expressed opinions in binary choice: the -EPO -voter model

Barbara Kamińska, Barbara Nowak, Arkadiusz Lipiecki +1

People often express opinions that differ from their privately held views, a phenomenon known in economy as preference falsification. Expressed-private opinion (EPO) models capture…

Empirical validation of the polarization transition in a double-random field model of elections

Jan Korbel, Remah Dahdoul, Stefan Thurner

We model bipartisan elections where voters are exposed to two forces: local homophilic interactions and external influence from two political campaigns. The model is mathematically…

Cost Functions in Economic Complexity

Alessandro Bellina, Paolo Buttà, Vito D. P. Servedio

Economic complexity algorithms aim to uncover the hidden capabilities that drive economic systems. Here, we present a fundamental reinterpretation of two of these algorithms, the E…

Bursty Switching Dynamics Promotes the Collapse of Network Topologies

Ziyan Zeng, Minyu Feng, Matjaž Perc +1

Time-varying connections are crucial in understanding the structures and dynamics of complex networks. In this paper, we propose a continuous-time switching topology model for temp…

Urban highways are barriers to social ties

Luca Maria Aiello, Anastassia Vybornova, Sándor Juhász +2

Urban highways are common, especially in the US, making cities more car-centric. They promise the annihilation of distance but obstruct pedestrian mobility, thus playing a key role…

Critical fragility in socio-technical systems

José Moran, Frank P. Pijpers, Utz Weitzel +2

Socio-technical systems, where technological and human elements interact in a goal-oriented manner, provide important functional support to our societies. Here we draw attention to…

Identifying maximal sets of significantly interacting nodes in higher-order networks

Lorenzo Betti, Federico Musciotto, Federico Battiston +1

Filtering methods are fundamental tools for extracting the backbone of complex networks. Systems displaying group interactions, however, open the way to new types of filtering appr…
