Preventing the Spread of Online Harms: Physics of Contagion across Multi-Platform Social Media and Metaverses
Chen Xu, Pak Ming Hui, Om K. Jha +2
We present a minimal yet empirically-grounded theory for the spread of online harms (e.g. misinformation, hate) across current multi-platform social media and future Metaverses. Ne…
Non-Markovian recovery makes complex networks more resilient against large-scale failures
Zhao-Hua Lin, Mi Feng, Ming Tang +4
Non-Markovian spontaneous recovery processes with a time delay (memory) are ubiquitous in the real world. How does the non-Markovian characteristic affect failure propagation in co…
Accurate ranking of influential spreaders in networks based on dynamically asymmetric link-impact
Ying Liu, Ming Tang, Younghae Do +1
We propose an efficient and accurate measure for ranking spreaders and identifying the influential ones in spreading processes in networks. While the edges determine the connection…
Adaptive cyclically dominating game on co-evolving networks: Numerical and analytic results
Chi Wun Choi, Chen Xu, Pak Ming Hui
A co-evolving and adaptive Rock (R)-Paper (P)-Scissors (S) game (ARPS) in which an agent uses one of three cyclically dominating strategies is proposed and studied numerically and…
Suppressed epidemics in multi-relational networks
Elvis H. W. Xu, Wei Wang, C. Xu +3
A two-state epidemic model in networks with links mimicking two kinds of relationships between connected nodes is introduced. Links of weights w1 and w0 occur with probabilities p…
Emergence of scale-free close-knit friendship structure in online social networks
Ai-xiang Cui, Zi-ke Zhang, Ming Tang +2
Despite the structural properties of online social networks have attracted much attention, the properties of the close-knit friendship structures remain an important question. Here…
Common group dynamic drives modern epidemics across social, financial and biological domains
Zhenyuan Zhao, Juan Pablo Calderón, Chen Xu +5
We show that qualitatively different epidemic-like processes from distinct societal domains (finance, social and commercial blockbusters, epidemiology) can be quantitatively unders…
Human group formation in online guilds and offline gangs driven by common team dynamic
Neil F. Johnson, Chen Xu, Zhenyuan Zhao +4
Quantifying human group dynamics represents a unique challenge. Unlike animals and other biological systems, humans form groups in both real (offline) and virtual (online) spaces -…
Evolutionary snowdrift game with loners
Li-Xin Zhong, Da-Fang Zheng, B. Zheng +2
The effects of an additional strategy or character called loner in the snowdrift game are studied in a well-mixed population or fully-connected network and in a square lattice. The…
Multi-Agent Complex Systems and Many-Body Physics
Neil F. Johnson, David M. D. Smith, Pak Ming Hui
Multi-agent complex systems comprising populations of decision-making particles, have many potential applications across the biological, informational and social sciences. We show…
Networking Effects on Cooperation in Evolutionary Snowdrift Game
Li-Xin Zhong, Da-Fang Zheng, B. Zheng +2
The effects of networking on the extent of cooperation emerging in a competitive setting are studied. The evolutionary snowdrift game, which represents a realistic alternative to t…
