The Backbone of a City
Salvatore Scellato, Alessio Cardillo, Vito Latora +1
Recent studies have revealed the importance of centrality measures to analyze various spatial factors affecting human life in cities. Here we show how it is possible to extract the…
Structural Properties of Planar Graphs of Urban Street Patterns
Alessio Cardillo, Salvatore Scellato, Vito Latora +1
Recent theoretical and empirical studies have focused on the structural properties of complex relational networks in social, biological and technological systems. Here we study the…
Compromise and Synchronization in Opinion Dynamics
Alessandro Pluchino, Vito Latora, Andrea Rapisarda
We discuss two models of opinion dynamics. First wepresent a brief review of the Hegselmann and Krause (HK) compromise model in two dimensions, showing that it is possible to simul…
Effective spin-glass Hamiltonian for the anomalous dynamics of the HMF model
Alessandro Pluchino, Vito Latora, Andrea Rapisarda
We discuss an effective spin-glass Hamiltonian which can be used to study the glassy-like dynamics observed in the metastable states of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model. By m…
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…
Centrality Measures in Spatial Networks of Urban Streets
Paolo Crucitti, Vito Latora, Sergio Porta
We study centrality in urban street patterns of different world cities represented as networks in geographical space. The results indicate that a spatial analysis based on a set of…
