Inheritances, social classes, and wealth distribution

Pedro Patrício, Nuno A. M. Araújo

We consider a simple theoretical model to investigate the impact of inheritances on the wealth distribution. Wealth is described as a finite resource, which remains constant over d…

Cracking urban mobility

H. A. Carmona, A. W. T. de Noronha, A. A. Moreira +2

Assessing the resilience of a road network is instrumental to improve existing infrastructures and design new ones. Here we apply the optimal path crack model (OPC) to investigate…

Heterogeneous impact of a lockdown on inter-municipality mobility

H. P. M. Melo, J. Henriques, R. Carvalho +3

Without a vaccine, the fight against the spreading of the coronavirus has focused on maintaining physical distance. To study the impact of such measures on inter-municipality traff…

Aging and equilibration in bistable contagion dynamics

Paul Richter, Malte Henkel, Lucas Böttcher

We analyze the late-time relaxation dynamics for a general contagion model. In this model, nodes are either active or failed. Active nodes can fail either "spontaneously" at any ti…

Fundraising and vote distribution: a non-equilibrium statistical approach

H. P. M. Melo, N. A. M. Araujo, J. S. Andrade

The number of votes correlates strongly with the money spent in a campaign, but the relation between the two is not straightforward. Among other factors, the output of a ballot dep…

Gender gap in the ERASMUS mobility program

L. Böttcher, N. A. M. Araújo, J. Nagler +3

Studying abroad has become very popular among students. The ERASMUS mobility program is one of the largest international student exchange programs in the world, which has supported…

Emergence of core-peripheries in networks

T. Verma, F. Russmann, N. A. M. Araújo +2

A number of important transport networks, such as the airline and trade networks of the world, exhibit a characteristic core-periphery structure, wherein a few nodes are highly int…

Model for the growth of the World Airline Network

T. Verma, N. A. M. Araújo, J. Nagler +2

We propose a probabilistic growth model for transport networks which employs a balance between popularity of nodes and the physical distance between nodes. By comparing the degree…

Disease-induced resource constraints can trigger explosive epidemics

Lucas Böttcher, Olivia Woolley-Meza, Nuno A. M. Araújo +2

Advances in mathematical epidemiology have led to a better understanding of the risks posed by epidemic spreading and informed strategies to contain disease spread. However, a chal…

Selection of noise level in strategy adoption for spatial social dilemmas

Attila Szolnoki, Jeromos Vukov, Gyorgy Szabo

We studied spatial Prisoner's Dilemma and Stag Hunt games where both the strategy distribution and the players' individual noise level could evolve to reach higher individual payof…

Spreading gossip in social networks

Pedro G. Lind, Luciano R. da Silva, José S. Andrade +1

We study a simple model of information propagation in social networks, where two quantities are introduced: the spread factor, which measures the average maximal fraction of neighb…

New approaches to model and study social networks

Pedro G. Lind, Hans J. Herrmann

We describe and develop three recent novelties in network research which are particularly useful for studying social systems. The first one concerns the discovery of some basic dyn…

Networks based on collisions among mobile agents

Marta C. González, Pedro G. Lind, Hans J. Herrmann

We investigate in detail a recent model of colliding mobile agents [Phys. Rev. Lett.~96, 088702], used as an alternative approach to construct evolving networks of interactions for…

Model of mobile agents for sexual interactions networks

M. C. Gonzalez, P. G. Lind, H. J. Herrmann

We present a novel model to simulate real social networks of complex interactions, based in a granular system of colliding particles (agents). The network is build by keeping track…
