Characterizing network topology using first-passage analysis

M. S. Chaves, T. G. Mattos, A. P. F. Atman

Understanding the topological characteristics of complex networks and how they affect navigability is one of the most important goals in science today, as it plays a central role i…

Imperfect bifurcations in opinion dynamics under external fields

Francisco Freitas, Allan R. Vieira, Celia Anteneodo

We investigate, through a kinetic-exchange model, the impact that an external field, like advertising and propaganda, has on opinion dynamics. We address the situations where two o…

A generalised model for asymptotically-scale-free geographical networks

Nicola Cinardi, Andrea Rapisarda, Constantino Tsallis

We consider a generalised d-dimensional model for asymptotically-scale-free geographical networks. Central to many networks of this kind, when considering their growth in time, is…

Dynamical robustness of discrete conservative systems: Harper and generalized standard maps

Ugur Tirnakli, Constantino Tsallis, Kivanc Cetin

In recent years, statistical characterization of the discrete conservative dynamical systems (more precisely, paradigmatic examples of area-preserving maps such as the standard and…

The Multiplex Efficiency Index: unveiling the Brazilian Air Transportation Multiplex Network -- BATMN

Izabela M. Oliveira, Laura C. Carpi, A. P. F. Atman

Modern society is increasingly massively connected, reflecting an omnipresent tendency to organize social, economic, and technological structures in complex networks. Recently, wit…

Quantum walks with sequential aperiodic jumps

Marcelo A. Pires, Sílvio M. Duarte Queirós

We analyze a set of discrete-time quantum walks for which the displacements on a chain follow binary aperiodic jumps according to three paradigmatic sequences: Fibonacci, Thue-Mors…

Dynamical correlations and pairwise theory for the symbiotic contact process on networks

Marcelo M. de Oliveira, Sidiney G. Alves, Silvio C. Ferreira

The two-species symbiotic contact process (2SCP) is a stochastic process where each vertex of a graph may be vacant or host at most one individual of each species. Vertices with bo…

Multiple transitions between normal and hyperballistic diffusion in quantum walks with time-dependent jumps

Marcelo A. Pires, Giuseppe Di Molfetta, Sílvio M. Duarte Queirós

We extend to the gamut of functional forms of the probability distribution of the time-dependent step-length a previous model dubbed Elephant Quantum Walk, which considers a unifor…

Memory and irreversibility on two-dimensional overdamped Brownian dynamics

Eduardo dos S. Nascimento, Welles A. M. Morgado

We consider the effects of memory on the stationary behavior of a two-dimensional Langevin dynamics in a confining potential. The system is treated in an overdamped approximation a…

Spectral properties and the accuracy of mean-field approaches for epidemics on correlated networks

Diogo H. Silva, Silvio C. Ferreira, Wesley Cota +2

We present a comparison between stochastic simulations and mean-field theories for the epidemic threshold of the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model on correlated networks…

Wealth Distribution Models with Regulations: Dynamics and Equilibria

Ben-Hur Francisco Cardoso, Sebastián Gonçalves, José Roberto Iglesias

Simple agent based exchange models are a commonplace in the study of wealth distribution in an artificial economy. Generally, in a system that is composed of many agents characteri…

Relaxation dynamics of the Ising -spin disordered model with finite number of variables

D. A. Stariolo, L. F. Cugliandolo

We study the dynamic and metastable properties of the fully connected Ising -spin model with finite number of variables. We define trapping energies, trapping times and self cor…

Order-disorder transition in a two-dimensional associating lattice gas

A. P. Furlan, Tiago J. Oliveira, Jürgen F. Stilck +1

We study an associating lattice gas (ALG) using Monte Carlo simulation and solutions on Husimi lattices. In this model, the molecules have an orientational degree of freedom and th…

Hamiltonian dynamics of the SIS epidemic model with stochastic fluctuations

Gilberto M. Nakamura, Alexandre S. Martinez

Empirical records of epidemics reveal that fluctuations are important factors for the spread and prevalence of infectious diseases. The exact manner in which fluctuations affect sp…

Quantifying echo chamber effects in information spreading over political communication networks

Wesley Cota, Silvio C. Ferreira, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras +1

Echo chambers in online social networks, in which users prefer to interact only with ideologically-aligned peers, are believed to facilitate misinformation spreading and contribute…
