Comparing spatial networks: A 'one size fits all' efficiency-driven approach

Ignacio Morer, Alessio Cardillo, Albert Diaz-Guilera +2

Spatial networks are a powerful framework for studying a large variety of systems belonging to a broad diversity of contexts: from transportation to biology, from epidemiology to c…

Modelling terrestrial route networks to understand inter-polity interactions (southern Etruria, 950-500 BC)

Luce Prignano, Ignacio Morer, Francesca Fulminante +1

Ancient regional routes were vital for interactions between settlements and deeply influenced the development of past societies and their "complexification". At the same time, sinc…

Role of Network Topology in the Synchronization of Power Systems

Sergi Lozano, Lubos Buzna, Albert Díaz-Guilera

We study synchronization dynamics in networks of coupled oscillators with bimodal distribution of natural frequencies. This setup can be interpreted as a simple model of frequency…

How citation boosts promote scientific paradigm shifts and Nobel Prizes

Amin Mazloumian, Young-Ho Eom, Dirk Helbing +2

Nobel Prizes are commonly seen to be among the most prestigious achievements of our times. Based on mining several million citations, we quantitatively analyze the processes drivin…

On Phase Transitions to Cooperation in the Prisoner's Dilemma

Dirk Helbing, Sergi Lozano

Game theory formalizes certain interactions between physical particles or between living beings in biology, sociology, and economics, and quantifies the outcomes by payoffs. The pr…

Synchronization in symmetric bipolar population networks

Lubos Buzna, Sergi Lozano, Albert Diaz-Guilera

We analyze populations of Kuramoto oscillators with a particular distribution of natural frequencies. Inspired by networks where there are two groups of nodes with opposite behavio…
