Baseline-referenced spatial early warning signals for tipping points on heterogeneous networks

Tharusha Bandara, Shilong Yu, Naoki Masuda

Anticipating tipping points in complex systems is difficult because many early warning signals require long time series, which are often unavailable in practice. Spatial early warn…

Using covariance of node states to design early warning signals for network dynamics

Shilong Yu, Neil G. MacLaren, Naoki Masuda

Real-life systems often experience regime shifts. An early warning signal (EWS) is a quantity that attempts to anticipate such a regime shift. Because complex systems of practical…

Detecting and forecasting tipping points from sample variance alone

Naoki Masuda

Anticipating tipping points in complex systems is a fundamental challenge across domains. Traditional early warning signals (EWSs) based on critical slowing down, such as increasin…

Observing network dynamics through sentinel nodes

Neil G. MacLaren, Baruch Barzel, Naoki Masuda

A fundamental premise of statistical physics is that the particles in a physical system are interchangeable, and hence the state of each specific component is representative of the…

To Be a Truster or Not to Be: Evolutionary Dynamics of a Symmetric N-Player Trust Game in Well-Mixed and Networked Populations

Ik Soo Lim, Naoki Masuda

Trust and reciprocation of it form the foundation of economic, social and other interactions. While the Trust Game is widely used to study these concepts for interactions between t…

Scalar embedding of temporal network trajectories

Lucas Lacasa, F. Javier Marín-Rodríguez, Naoki Masuda +1

A temporal network -- a collection of snapshots recording the evolution of a network whose links appear and disappear dynamically -- can be interpreted as a trajectory in graph spa…
