Continuum rich-get-richer processes: Mean field analysis with an application to firm size
David Rushing Dewhurst, Christopher M. Danforth, Peter Sheridan Dodds
Classical rich-get-richer models have found much success in being able to broadly reproduce the statistics and dynamics of diverse real complex systems. These rich-get-richer model…
Slightly generalized Generalized Contagion: Unifying simple models of biological and social spreading
Peter Sheridan Dodds
We motivate and explore the basic features of generalized contagion, a model mechanism that unifies fundamental models of biological and social contagion. Generalized contagion bui…
A generalized model of social and biological contagion
Peter Sheridan Dodds, Duncan J. Watts
We present a model of contagion that unifies and generalizes existing models of the spread of social influences and micro-organismal infections. Our model incorporates individual m…
A simple person's approach to understanding the contagion condition for spreading processes on generalized random networks
Peter Sheridan Dodds
We present derivations of the contagion condition for a range of spreading mechanisms on families of generalized random networks and bipartite random networks. We show how the cont…
