Using Persistent Homology to Analyze Access to Heterogeneous-Quality Resources and Heterogeneous-Severity Nuisances

Sarah Tymochko, Gillian Grindstaff, Abigail Hickok +2

We develop a framework to use multiparameter persistent homology (PH) to examine access to heterogeneous-quality resources and exposure to heterogeneous-severity nuisances in a geo…

Generalizing Perron--Frobenius theory and eigenvector-based centralities to networks with complex edge weights

Yu Tian, Mason A. Porter, Lucas Böttcher

A fundamental concept in linear algebra and its applications to network analysis is the Perron--Frobenius (PF) theorem, which underpins eigenvector-based centrality measures such a…

A Bounded-Confidence Model of Opinion Dynamics with Adaptive Interaction Probabilities

Leila Thompsky, Yuexuan Yolanda Wu, Mason A. Porter +1

Models of opinion dynamics aim to capture how individuals' opinions change when they interact with each other. One well-known model of opinion dynamics is the Deffuant--Weisbuch (D…

Graph energy as a measure of community detectability in networks

Lucas Böttcher, Mason A. Porter, Santo Fortunato

A key challenge in network science is the detection of communities, which are sets of nodes in a network that are densely connected internally but sparsely connected to the rest of…

Bounded-confidence opinion models with random-time interactions

Weiqi Chu, Mason A Porter

In models of opinion dynamics, agents interact with each other and can change their opinions as a result of those interactions. One type of opinion model is a bounded-confidence mo…

Oscillatory and Excitable Dynamics in an Opinion Model with Group Opinions

Corbit R. Sampson, Juan G. Restrepo, Mason A. Porter

In traditional models of opinion dynamics, each agent in a network has an opinion and changes in opinions arise from pairwise (i.e., dyadic) interactions between agents. However, i…
