Human mobility patterns at the smallest scales
Pedro G. Lind, Adriano Moreira
We present a study on human mobility at small spatial scales. Differently from large scale mobility, recently studied through dollar-bill tracking and mobile phone data sets within…
From human mobility to renewable energies: Big data analysis to approach worldwide multiscale phenomena
Frank Raischel, Adriano Moreira, Pedro G. Lind
We address and discuss recent trends in the analysis of big data sets, with the emphasis on studying multiscale phenomena. Applications of big data analysis in different scientific…
A thermostatistical approach to scale-free networks
João P. da Cruz, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Frank Raischel +1
We describe an ensemble of growing scale-free networks in an equilibrium framework, providing insight into why the exponent of empirical scale-free networks in nature is typically…
The network approach: basic concepts and algorithms
Pedro G. Lind
What is a complex network? How do we characterize complex networks? Which systems can be studied from a network approach? In this text, we motivate the use of complex networks to s…
Spreading gossip in social networks
Pedro G. Lind, Luciano R. da Silva, José S. Andrade +1
We study a simple model of information propagation in social networks, where two quantities are introduced: the spread factor, which measures the average maximal fraction of neighb…
New approaches to model and study social networks
Pedro G. Lind, Hans J. Herrmann
We describe and develop three recent novelties in network research which are particularly useful for studying social systems. The first one concerns the discovery of some basic dyn…
