Yafei Zhang, Lin Wang, Jonathan J. H. Zhu +1
Quantifying the virality of cascades is an important question across disciplines such as the transmission of disease, the spread of information and the diffusion of innovations. An…
Finite-size scaling of geometric renormalization flows in complex networks
Dan Chen, Housheng Su, Xiaofan Wang +2
Recently, the concept of geometric renormalization group provides a good approach for studying the structural symmetry and functional invariance of complex networks. Along this lin…
Competitive Dynamics on Complex Networks
Jiuhua Zhao, Qipeng Liu, Xiaofan Wang
We consider a dynamical network model in which two competitors have fixed and different states, and each normal agent adjusts its state according to a distributed consensus protoco…
A generalized theory of preferential linking
Haibo Hu, Jinli Guo, Xuan Liu
There are diverse mechanisms driving the evolution of social networks. A key open question dealing with understanding their evolution is: How various preferential linking mechanism…
How people make friends in social networking sites - A microscopic perspective
Haibo Hu, Xiaofan Wang
We study the detailed growth of a social networking site with full temporal information by examining the creation process of each friendship relation that can collectively lead to…
Individual popularity and activity in online social systems
Haibo Hu, Dingyi Han, Xiaofan Wang
We propose a stochastic model of web user behaviors in online social systems, and study the influence of attraction kernel on statistical property of user or item occurrence. Combi…
Disassortative mixing in online social networks
Haibo Hu, Xiaofan Wang
The conventional wisdom is that social networks exhibit an assortative mixing pattern, whereas biological and technological networks show a disassortative mixing pattern. However,…
