Dose-response functions and surrogate models for exploring social contagion in the Copenhagen Networks Study
Jonathan F. Donges, Jakob H. Lochner, Niklas H. Kitzmann +4
Spreading dynamics and complex contagion processes on networks are important mechanisms underlying the emergence of critical transitions, tipping points and other nonlinear phenome…
A dynamic network model of societal complexity and resilience inspired by Tainter's theory of collapse
Florian Schunck, Marc Wiedermann, Jobst Heitzig +1
In recent years, several global events have severely disrupted economies and social structures, undermining confidence in the resilience of modern societies. While empirical eviden…
Anticipation-induced social tipping -- Can the environment be stabilised by social dynamics?
Paul Manuel Müller, Jobst Heitzig, Jürgen Kurths +2
In the past decades human activities caused global Earth system changes, e.g., climate change or biodiversity loss. Simultaneously, these associated impacts have increased environm…
Social tipping processes for sustainability: An analytical framework
Ricarda Winkelmann, Jonathan F. Donges, E. Keith Smith +7
Societal transformations are necessary to address critical global challenges, such as mitigation of anthropogenic climate change and reaching UN sustainable development goals. Rece…
Optimization of coupling and global collapse in diffusively coupled socio-ecological resource exploitation networks
Tanja Holstein, Marc Wiedermann, Jürgen Kurths
Single- and multi-layer complex networks have been proven as a powerful tool to study the dynamics within social, technological,or natural systems. An often observed common goal th…
Domino Effects in the Earth System -- The potential role of wanted tipping points
Marc Wiedermann, Ricarda Winkelmann, Jonathan F. Donges +4
Vital parts of the climate system, such as the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, are at risk even within the aspired aims of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 --…
A network-based microfoundation of Granovetter's threshold model for social tipping
Marc Wiedermann, E. Keith Smith, Jobst Heitzig +1
Social tipping, where minorities trigger larger populations to engage in collective action, has been suggested as one key aspect in addressing contemporary global challenges. Here,…
Earth system modeling with endogenous and dynamic human societies: the copan:CORE open World-Earth modeling framework
Jonathan F. Donges, Jobst Heitzig, Wolfram Barfuss +9
Analysis of Earth system dynamics in the Anthropocene requires to explicitly take into account the increasing magnitude of processes operating in human societies, their cultures, e…
The physics of governance networks: critical transitions in contagion dynamics on multilayer adaptive networks with application to the sustainable use of renewable resources
Fabian Geier, Wolfram Barfuss, Marc Wiedermann +2
Adaptive networks are a versatile approach to model phenomena such as contagion and spreading dynamics, critical transitions and structure formation that emerge from the dynamic co…
Zealotry Effects on Opinion Dynamics in the Adaptive Voter Model
Pascal P. Klamser, Marc Wiedermann, Jonathan F. Donges +1
The adaptive voter model has been widely studied as a conceptual model for opinion formation processes on time-evolving social networks. Past studies on the effect of zealots, i.e.…
Spatial network surrogates for disentangling complex system structure from spatial embedding of nodes
Marc Wiedermann, Jonathan F. Donges, Jürgen Kurths +1
Networks with nodes embedded in a metric space have gained increasing interest in recent years. The effects of spatial embedding on the networks' structural characteristics, howeve…
Macroscopic description of complex adaptive networks co-evolving with dynamic node states
Marc Wiedermann, Jonathan F. Donges, Jobst Heitzig +2
In many real-world complex systems, the time-evolution of the network's structure and the dynamic state of its nodes are closely entangled. Here, we study opinion formation and imi…
Node-weighted interacting network measures improve the representation of real-world complex systems
Marc Wiedermann, Jonathan F. Donges, Jobst Heitzig +1
Network theory provides a rich toolbox consisting of methods, measures, and models for studying the structure and dynamics of complex systems found in nature, society, or technolog…
