Drift Behavior in a Bounded-Confidence Opinion Model with Media Influence
Oliver Zheng, Mason A. Porter
People's opinions can change both from their interactions with each other and from their interactions with media sources. Bounded-confidence models (BCMs) of opinion dynamics provi…
An Approximate-Master-Equation Formulation of the Watts Threshold Model on Hypergraphs
Leah A. Keating, Kwang-Il Goh, Mason A. Porter
In traditional models of behavioral or opinion dynamics on social networks, researchers suppose that all interactions occur between pairs of individuals. However, in reality, socia…
A disease-spread model on hypergraphs with distinct droplet and aerosol transmission modes
Tung D. Nguyen, Mason A. Porter
We examine the spread of an infectious disease, such as one that is caused by a respiratory virus, with two distinct modes of transmission. To do this, we consider a susceptible--i…
Ising dynamics on multilayer networks with heterogeneous layers
Suman S. Kulkarni, Christopher W. Lynn, Mason A. Porter +1
Multilayer networks provide a framework to study complex systems with multiple types of interactions, multiple dynamical processes, and/or multiple subsystems. When studying a dyna…
Competition between group interactions and nonlinearity in voter dynamics on hypergraphs
Jihye Kim, Deok-Sun Lee, Byungjoon Min +3
Social dynamics are often driven by both pairwise (i.e., dyadic) relationships and higher-order (i.e., polyadic) group relationships, which one can describe using hypergraphs. To g…
Structural Robustness and Vulnerability of Networks
Alice C. Schwarze, Jessica Jiang, Jonny Wray +1
Networks are useful descriptions of the structure of many complex systems. Unsurprisingly, it is thus important to analyze the robustness of networks in many scientific disciplines…
