Limited efficacy of forward contact tracing in epidemics

Giulia de Meijere, Claudio Castellano

Infectious diseases that spread silently through asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic infections represent a challenge for policy makers. A traditional way of achieving isolation of sil…

The effect of Collaborative-Filtering based Recommendation Algorithms on Opinion Polarization

Alessandro Bellina, Claudio Castellano, Paul Pineau +2

A central role in shaping the experience of users online is played by recommendation algorithms. On the one hand they help retrieving content that best suits users taste, but on th…

Extended-range percolation in complex networks

Lorenzo Cirigliano, Claudio Castellano, Gábor Timár

Classical percolation theory underlies many processes of information transfer along the links of a network. In these standard situations, the requirement for two nodes to be able t…

Critical avalanches of Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible dynamics in finite networks

Daniele Notarmuzi, Alessandro Flammini, Claudio Castellano +1

We investigate the avalanche temporal statistics of the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) model when the dynamics is critical and takes place on finite random networks. By con…

The advantage of self-protecting interventions in mitigating epidemic circulation at the community level

Romualdo Pastor-Satorras, Claudio Castellano

Protecting interventions of many types (both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical) can be deployed against the spreading of a communicable disease, as the worldwide COVID-19 pande…

Cumulative Merging Percolation: A long-range percolation process in networks

Lorenzo Cirigliano, Giulio Cimini, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras +1

Percolation on networks is a common framework to model a wide range of processes, from cascading failures to epidemic spreading. Standard percolation assumes short-range interactio…
