Two phase transitions in modular multiplex networks
Yael Kfir-Cohen, Dana Ben Porath, Bnaya Gross +2
Modular networks, such as critical infrastructures, are often built from distinct, densely connected modules (e.g., cities) that are sparsely interconnected. When such networks are…
The mechanistic origin of branching-driven nucleation in abrupt phase transitions
Leyang Xue, Shengling Gao, Bnaya Gross +5
Phase transitions are the macroscopic manifestation of microscopic processes that drive a system towards a new state. The detailed evolution of these processes, particularly in abr…
Dynamics of critical cascades in interdependent networks
Dolev Dilmoney, Bnaya Gross, Shlomo Havlin +1
The collapse of interdependent networks, as well as similar avalanche phenomena, is driven by cascading failures. At the critical point, the cascade begins as a critical branching…
The microscopic origin of abrupt transitions in interdependent systems
Bnaya Gross, Irina Volotsenko, Yuval Sallem +4
Phase transitions are fundamental features of statistical physics. While the well-studied continuous phase transitions are known to be controlled by external \textit{macroscopic} c…
Nucleation phenomena and extreme vulnerability of spatial k-core systems
Leyang Xue, Shengling Gao, Lazaros K. Gallos +4
K-core percolation is a fundamental dynamical process in complex networks with applications that span numerous real-world systems. Earlier studies focus primarily on random network…
