The impact of homophily on digital proximity tracing
Giulio Burgio, Benjamin Steinegger, Giacomo Rapisardi +1
We study how homophily of human physical interactions affects the efficacy of digital proximity tracing. Analytical results show a non monotonous dependence of the reproduction num…
A message-passing approach to epidemic tracing and mitigation with apps
Ginestra Bianconi, Hanlin Sun, Giacomo Rapisardi +1
With the hit of new pandemic threats, scientific frameworks are needed to understand the unfolding of the epidemic. The use of mobile apps that are able to trace contacts is of utm…
Numerical assessment of the percolation threshold using complement networks
Giacomo Rapisardi, Guido Caldarelli, Giulio Cimini
Models of percolation processes on networks currently assume locally tree-like structures at low densities, and are derived exactly only in the thermodynamic limit. Finite size eff…
Fragility and anomalous susceptibility of weakly interacting networks
Giacomo Rapisardi, Alex Arenas, Guido Caldarelli +1
Percolation is a fundamental concept that brought new understanding on the robustness properties of complex systems. Here we consider percolation on weakly interacting networks, th…
Multiple structural transitions in interacting networks
Giacomo Rapisardi, Alex Arenas, Guido Caldarelli +1
Many real-world systems can be modeled as interconnected multilayer networks, namely a set of networks interacting with each other. Here we present a perturbative approach to study…
