Dynamics-preserving network reductions for ride-pooling paths

Karolin Stiller, Nora Molkenthin

Reducing the complexity of ride-pooling paths is a central challenge in systems with distributed demand. Here we show that such dynamics admit an exact coarse-grained representatio…

Node-weighted recurrence analysis for path dynamics on networks

A. Schmaus, N. Marwan, N. Molkenthin

Trajectories of units moving on networks are relevant for nonlinear dynamical systems as diverse as polymers, ocean drifters, and human mobility. Although RQA is a well-researched…

Emergence and co-existence of periodic and unstructured motion in future-avoiding random walks

A. Schmaus, K. Stiller, N. Molkenthin

Self-avoiding random walks on graphs can be seen as walkers interacting with their own past history. This letter considers a complementary class of dynamics: Mutual future avoiding…

Ride-pooling adoption model for emission estimation

Milli Keil, Felix Creutzig, Nora Molkenthin

With the climate emergency and growing challenges ranging from pollution to congestion, ride-pooling (rp) has been floated as a potential solution for less congested, low-carbon an…

Instability in Complex Oscillator Networks: Limitations and Potentials of Network Measures and Machine Learning

Christian Nauck, Michael Lindner, Nora Molkenthin +4

A central question of network science is how functional properties of systems emerge from their structure. For networked dynamical systems, structure is typically captured through…

Shared Mobility in Berlin: An Analysis of Ride-Pooling with Car Mobility Data

Alexander Schmaus, Felix Creutzig, Nicolas Koch +1

In face of the threat of a climate catastrophe and the resulting urgent need for decarbonization together with the widespread emergence of the sharing economy, shared pooled mobili…

Learning Interpretable Collective Variables for Spreading Processes on Networks

Marvin Lücke, Stefanie Winkelmann, Jobst Heitzig +2

Collective variables (CVs) are low-dimensional projections of high-dimensional system states. They are used to gain insights into complex emergent dynamical behaviors of processes…

Large population limits of Markov processes on random networks

Marvin Lücke, Jobst Heitzig, Péter Koltai +2

We consider time-continuous Markovian discrete-state dynamics on random networks of interacting agents and study the large population limit. The dynamics are projected onto low-dim…

Collective dynamics of capacity-constrained ride-pooling fleets

Robin M. Zech, Nora Molkenthin, Marc Timme +1

Ride-pooling (or ride-sharing) services combine trips of multiple customers along similar routes into a single vehicle. The collective dynamics of the fleet of ride-pooling vehicle…

What geometrically constrained folding models can tell us about real-world protein contact maps

Nora Molkenthin, J. J. Güven, Steffen Mühle +1

The mechanisms by which a protein's 3D structure can be determined based on its amino acid sequence have long been one of the key mysteries of biophysics. Often simplistic models,…

Moving the epidemic tipping point through topologically targeted social distancing

Sara Ansari, Mehrnaz Anvari, Oskar Pfeffer +4

The epidemic threshold of a social system is the ratio of infection and recovery rate above which a disease spreading in it becomes an epidemic. In the absence of pharmaceutical in…

Relative Canonical Network Ensembles -- (Mis)characterizing Small-World Networks

Oskar Pfeffer, Nora Molkenthin, Frank Hellmann

What do generic networks that have certain properties look like? We define Relative Canonical Network ensembles as the ensembles that realize a property R while being as indistingu…
