Slow activity decay in excitable models with discontinuous phase transitions
Paulo H. Lorenzoni, Géza Ódor, Silvio C. Ferreira +1
As a simple model of interacting systems of excitable degrees of freedom, we consider a threshold contact process on various lattices and networks, in which a successful activation…
Visibility graphs of critical and off-critical time series for absorbing state phase transitions
Juliane T. Moraes, Silvio C. Ferreira
It is possible to investigate emergence in many real systems using time-ordered data. However, classical time series analysis is usually conditioned by data accuracy and quantity.…
Controversy-seeking fuels rumor-telling activity in polarized opinion networks
Hugo P. Maia, Silvio C. Ferreira, Marcelo L. Martins
Rumors have ignited revolutions, undermined the trust in political parties, or threatened the stability of human societies. Such destructive potential has been significantly enhanc…
Comparison of theoretical approaches for epidemic processes with waning immunity in complex networks
José Carlos M. Silva, Diogo H. Silva, Francisco A. Rodrigues +1
The role of waning immunity in basic epidemic models on networks has been undervalued while being noticeable fundamental for real epidemic outbreaks. One central question is which…
Self Tuned Criticality: Controlling a neuron near its bifurcation point via temporal correlations
Juliane T. Moraes, Eyisto J. Aguilar Trejo, Sabrina Camargo +2
Previous work showed that the collective activity of large neuronal networks can be tamed to remain near its critical point by a feedback control that maximizes the temporal correl…
Epidemic outbreaks with adaptive prevention on complex networks
Diogo H. Silva, Celia Anteneodo, Silvio C. Ferreira
The adoption of prophylaxis attitudes, such as social isolation and use of face masks, to mitigate epidemic outbreaks strongly depends on the support of the population. In this wor…
