Predicting Scientific Success Based on Coauthorship Networks

Emre Sarigöl, Rene Pfitzner, Ingo Scholtes +2

We address the question to what extent the success of scientific articles is due to social influence. Analyzing a data set of over 100000 publications from the field of Computer Sc…

Causality-Driven Slow-Down and Speed-Up of Diffusion in Non-Markovian Temporal Networks

Ingo Scholtes, Nicolas Wider, Rene Pfitzner +3

Recent research has highlighted limitations of studying complex systems with time-varying topologies from the perspective of static, time-aggregated networks. Non-Markovian charact…

Betweenness Preference: Quantifying Correlations in the Topological Dynamics of Temporal Networks

René Pfitzner, Ingo Scholtes, Antonios Garas +2

We study correlations in temporal networks and introduce the notion of betweenness preference. It allows to quantify to what extent paths, existing in time-aggregated representatio…

Hierarchical Consensus Formation Reduces the Influence of Opinion Bias

Nicolas Perony, René Pfitzner, Ingo Scholtes +2

We study the role of hierarchical structures in a simple model of collective consensus formation based on the bounded confidence model with continuous individual opinions. For the…

Controlled Tripping of Overheated Lines Mitigates Power Outages

René Pfitzner, Konstantin Turitsyn, Michael Chertkov

We study the evolution of fast blackout cascades in the model of the Polish (transmission) power grid (2700 nodes and 3504 transmission lines). The cascade is initiated by a suffic…

Statistical Classification of Cascading Failures in Power Grids

René Pfitzner, Konstantin Turitsyn, Michael Chertkov

We introduce a new microscopic model of the outages in transmission power grids. This model accounts for the automatic response of the grid to load fluctuations that take place on…
