Two phase transitions in modular multiplex networks
Yael Kfir-Cohen, Dana Ben Porath, Bnaya Gross +2
Modular networks, such as critical infrastructures, are often built from distinct, densely connected modules (e.g., cities) that are sparsely interconnected. When such networks are…
The mechanistic origin of branching-driven nucleation in abrupt phase transitions
Leyang Xue, Shengling Gao, Bnaya Gross +5
Phase transitions are the macroscopic manifestation of microscopic processes that drive a system towards a new state. The detailed evolution of these processes, particularly in abr…
Dynamics of critical cascades in interdependent networks
Dolev Dilmoney, Bnaya Gross, Shlomo Havlin +1
The collapse of interdependent networks, as well as similar avalanche phenomena, is driven by cascading failures. At the critical point, the cascade begins as a critical branching…
The microscopic origin of abrupt transitions in interdependent systems
Bnaya Gross, Irina Volotsenko, Yuval Sallem +4
Phase transitions are fundamental features of statistical physics. While the well-studied continuous phase transitions are known to be controlled by external \textit{macroscopic} c…
Nucleation phenomena and extreme vulnerability of spatial k-core systems
Leyang Xue, Shengling Gao, Lazaros K. Gallos +4
K-core percolation is a fundamental dynamical process in complex networks with applications that span numerous real-world systems. Earlier studies focus primarily on random network…
Dynamics of cascades in spatial interdependent networks
Bnaya Gross, Ivan Bonamassa, Shlomo Havlin
The dynamics of cascading failures in spatial interdependent networks significantly depend on the interaction range of dependency couplings between layers. In particular, for incre…
