Epidemic spreading on multigraphs
Paulo H. Lorenzoni, Wesley Cota, Francisco A. Rodrigues +1
Multigraphs are graphs in which multiple links between pairs of nodes are allowed, whereas they are forbidden in simple graphs, the latter being widely used in network science. Sim…
Impacts of bridging nodes on the epidemic activation mechanisms
José Carlos M. Silva, Diogo H. Silva, Wesley Cota +2
Bridging nodes, which connect critical components of a network, play an important role in maintaining structural integrity and facilitating communication within the network, repres…
Efficient Gillespie algorithms for spreading phenomena in large and heterogeneous higher-order networks
Hugo P. Maia, Wesley Cota, Yamir Moreno +1
Higher-order interactions, where groups of nodes interact collectively rather than pairwisely, are central to many complex systems, from neural and ecological networks to social co…
Effects of infection fatality ratio and social contact matrices on vaccine prioritization strategies
Arthur Schulenburg, Wesley Cota, Guilherme S. Costa +1
Effective strategies of vaccine prioritization are essential to mitigate the impacts of severe infectious diseases. We investigate the role of infection fatality ratio (IFR) and so…
Infectious disease dynamics in metapopulations with heterogeneous transmission and recurrent mobility
Wesley Cota, David Soriano-Paños, Alex Arenas +2
Human mobility, contact patterns, and their interplay are key aspects of our social behavior that shape the spread of infectious diseases across different regions. In the light of…
Outbreak diversity in epidemic waves propagating through distinct geographical scales
Guilherme S. Costa, Wesley Cota, Silvio C. Ferreira
A central feature of an emerging infectious disease in a pandemic scenario is the spread through geographical scales and the impacts on different locations according to the adopted…
Spectral properties and the accuracy of mean-field approaches for epidemics on correlated networks
Diogo H. Silva, Silvio C. Ferreira, Wesley Cota +2
We present a comparison between stochastic simulations and mean-field theories for the epidemic threshold of the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model on correlated networks…
Quantifying echo chamber effects in information spreading over political communication networks
Wesley Cota, Silvio C. Ferreira, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras +1
Echo chambers in online social networks, in which users prefer to interact only with ideologically-aligned peers, are believed to facilitate misinformation spreading and contribute…
Robustness and fragility of the susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemic models on complex networks
Wesley Cota, Angélica S. Mata, Silvio C. Ferreira
We analyze two alterations of the standard susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) dynamics that preserve the central properties of spontaneous healing and infection capacity of a v…
Griffiths phases in infinite-dimensional, non-hierarchical modular networks
Wesley Cota, Géza Ódor, Silvio C. Ferreira
Griffiths phases (GPs), generated by the heterogeneities on modular networks, have recently been suggested to provide a mechanism, rid of fine parameter tuning, to explain the crit…
Optimized Gillespie algorithms for the simulation of Markovian epidemic processes on large and heterogeneous networks
Wesley Cota, Silvio C. Ferreira
Numerical simulation of continuous-time Markovian processes is an essential and widely applied tool in the investigation of epidemic spreading on complex networks. Due to the high…
Griffiths effects of the susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemic model on random power-law networks
Wesley Cota, Silvio C. Ferreira, Géza Ódor
We provide numerical evidence for slow dynamics of the susceptible-infected-susceptible model evolving on finite-size random networks with power-law degree distributions. Extensive…
