Early warning signals for synchronization transitions from partial observations

Yusuke Kato, Naoki Masuda

Anticipating the onset of collective synchronization is important in many networked systems, yet observing every oscillator is often impractical. We investigate whether synchroniza…

Transferable reconstruction of nonlinear network dynamics from sentinel nodes

Naoki Masuda, Bisna Mary Eldo, Tharusha Bandara

Reconstructing the state of a large networked system from measurements at only a few nodes is a challenge for monitoring, prediction, and intervention. Here we ask whether such rec…

A theory of spatial early warning signals for tipping points on complex networks

Naoki Masuda

Spatial early warning signals (EWSs) seek evidence of an approaching tipping point from a single snapshot of many interacting elements. Existing theory largely assumes spatial homo…

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…

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…

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…

Dimensional reduction of dynamical systems on graphons

Bisna Mary Eldo, Sarbendu Rakshit, Naoki Masuda

Dynamical systems on networks are inherently high-dimensional unless the number of nodes is extremely small. Dimension reduction methods for dynamical systems on networks aim to fi…

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…

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…

Applicability of spatial early warning signals to complex network dynamics

Neil G. MacLaren, Kazuyuki Aihara, Naoki Masuda

Early warning signals (EWSs) for complex dynamical systems aim to anticipate tipping points before they occur. While signals computed from time series data, such as temporal varian…

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…

Network Analysis of U.S. Non-Fatal Opioid-Involved Overdose Journeys, 2018-2023

Lucas H. McCabe, Naoki Masuda, Shannon Casillas +3

We present a nation-wide network analysis of non-fatal opioid-involved overdose journeys in the United States. Leveraging a unique proprietary dataset of Emergency Medical Services…

Temporal networks provide a unifying understanding of the evolution of cooperation

Aming Li, Yao Meng, Lei Zhou +2

Understanding the evolution of cooperation in structured populations represented by networks is a problem of long research interest, and a most fundamental and widespread property…
