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…
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…
Simple quasistationary method for simulations of epidemic processes with localized states
Guilherme S. Costa, Silvio C. Ferreira
Epidemic processes on random graphs or networks are marked by localization of activity that can trap the dynamics into a metastable state, confined to a subextensive part of the ne…
Infectious disease dynamics in metapopulations with heterogeneous transmission and recurrent mobility
Wesley Cota, David Soriano-Paños, Alex Arenas +2
Human mobility, contact patterns, and their interplay are key aspects of our social behavior that shape the spread of infectious diseases across different regions. In the light of…
Dissecting localization phenomena of dynamical processes on networks
Diogo H. Silva, Silvio C. Ferreira
Localization phenomena permeate many branches of physics playing a fundamental role on dynamical processes evolving on heterogeneous networks. These localization analyses are frequ…
