How to make the top ten: Approximating PageRank from in-degree
Santo Fortunato, Marian Boguna, Alessandro Flammini +1
PageRank has become a key element in the success of search engines, allowing to rank the most important hits in the top screen of results. One key aspect that distinguishes PageRan…
Decoding the structure of the WWW: facts versus sampling biases
M. Angeles Serrano, Ana Maguitman, Marian Boguna +2
The understanding of the immense and intricate topological structure of the World Wide Web (WWW) is a major scientific and technological challenge. This has been tackled recently b…
The egalitarian effect of search engines
Santo Fortunato, Alessandro Flammini, Filippo Menczer +1
Search engines have become key media for our scientific, economic, and social activities by enabling people to access information on the Web in spite of its size and complexity. On…
Vector Opinion Dynamics in a Bounded Confidence Consensus Model
Santo Fortunato, Vito Latora, Alessandro Pluchino +1
We study the continuum opinion dynamics of the compromise model of Krause and Hegselmann for a community of mutually interacting agents, by solving numerically a rate equation. The…
Computer Simulations of Opinions
Santo Fortunato, Dietrich Stauffer
We review the opinion dynamics in the computer models of Deffuant et al. (D), of Krause and Hegselmann (KH), and of Sznajd (S). All these models allow for consensus (one final opin…
Monte Carlo Simulations of Opinion Dynamics
Santo Fortunato
We briefly introduce a new promising field of applications of statistical physics, opinion dynamics, where the systems at study are social groups or communities and the atoms/spins…
