Persistence of chimera states and the challenge for synchronization in real-world networks
Riccardo Muolo, Joseph D. O'Brien, Timoteo Carletti +1
The emergence of order in nature manifests in different phenomena, with synchronization being one of the most representative examples. Understanding the role played by the interact…
Calibrating COVID-19 SEIR models with time-varying effective contact rates
James P. Gleeson, Thomas Brendan Murphy, Joseph D. O'Brien +3
We describe the population-based SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infected, removed) model developed by the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group (IEMAG), which advises the Iri…
Memory-cognizant generalization to Simon's random-copying neutral model
Joseph D. O'Brien, James P. Gleeson
Simon's classical random-copying model, introduced in 1955, has garnered much attention for its ability, in spite of an apparent simplicity, to produce characteristics similar to t…
Hierarchical route to the emergence of leader nodes in real-world networks
Joseph D. O'Brien, Kleber A. Oliveira, James P. Gleeson +1
A large number of complex systems, naturally emerging in various domains, are well described by directed networks, resulting in numerous interesting features that are absent from t…
A complex networks approach to ranking professional Snooker players
Joseph D. O'Brien, James P. Gleeson
A detailed analysis of matches played in the sport of Snooker during the period 1968-2020 is used to calculate a directed and weighted dominance network based upon the correspondin…
Identification of skill in an online game: The case of Fantasy Premier League
Joseph D. O'Brien, James P. Gleeson, David J. P. O'Sullivan
In all competitions where results are based upon an individual's performance the question of whether the outcome is a consequence of skill or luck arises. We explore this question…
A Generalization of the Classical Kelly Betting Formula to the Case of Temporal Correlation
Joseph D. O'Brien, Kevin Burke, Mark E. Burke +1
For sequential betting games, Kelly's theory, aimed at maximization of the logarithmic growth of one's account value, involves optimization of the so-called betting fraction . I…
Quantifying Uncertainty in a Predictive Model for Popularity Dynamics
Joseph D. O'Brien, Alberto Aleta, Yamir Moreno +1
The Hawkes process has garnered attention in recent years for its suitability to describe the behavior of online information cascades. Here, we present a fully tractable approach t…
Spreading of Memes on Multiplex Networks
Joseph D. O'Brien, Ioannis K. Dassios, James P. Gleeson
A model for the spreading of online information or "memes" on multiplex networks is introduced and analyzed using branching-process methods. The model generalizes that of [Gleeson…
A Generalized Framework for Simultaneous Long-Short Feedback Trading
Joseph D. O'Brien, Mark E. Burke, Kevin Burke
We present a generalization of the Simultaneous Long-Short (SLS) trading strategy described in recent control literature wherein we allow for different parameters across the short…
