Contagious sets in random graphs

U Feige, M Krivelevich, D Reichman - 2017 - projecteuclid.org
We consider the following activation process in undirected graphs: a vertex is active either if
it belongs to a set of initially activated vertices or if at some point it has at least r active …

[PDF][PDF] On the spread of information through graphs

AN Zehmakan - 2019 - research-collection.ethz.ch
Consider a graph G and an initial configuration, where each node is black or white. Assume
that in discrete-time rounds, all nodes simultaneously update their color based on a …

Contagious sets in dense graphs

D Freund, M Poloczek, D Reichman - European Journal of Combinatorics, 2018 - Elsevier
We study the activation process in undirected graphs known as bootstrap percolation: a
vertex is active either if it belongs to a set of initially activated vertices or if at some point it …

Sharp thresholds for contagious sets in random graphs

O Angel, B Kolesnik - The Annals of Applied Probability, 2018 - JSTOR
For fixed r≥ 2, we consider bootstrap percolation with threshold r on the Erdős–Rényi graph
𝓖 n, p. We identify a threshold for p above which there is with high probability a set of size r …

How complex contagions spread quickly in preferential attachment models and other time-evolving networks

R Ebrahimi, J Gao, G Ghasemiesfeh… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The-complex contagion model is a social contagion model which describes the diffusion of
behaviors in networks where the successful adoption of a behavior requires influence from …

Complex contagions in Kleinberg's small world model

R Ebrahimi, J Gao, G Ghasemiesfeh… - Proceedings of the 2015 …, 2015 - dl.acm.org
Complex contagions describe diffusion of behaviors in a social network in settings where
spreading requires influence by two or more neighbors. In ak-complex contagion, a cluster …

De-anonymization of heterogeneous random graphs in quasilinear time

K Bringmann, T Friedrich, A Krohmer - Algorithms-ESA 2014: 22th Annual …, 2014 - Springer
There are hundreds of online social networks with billions of users in total. Many such
networks publicly release structural information, with all personal information removed …

Contagious sets in a degree‐proportional bootstrap percolation process

F Garbe, R Mycroft, A McDowell - Random Structures & …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
We study the following bootstrap percolation process: given a connected graph G, a
constant ρ∈[0, 1] and an initial set A⊆ V (G) of infected vertices, at each step a vertex v …

Complex contagions on configuration model graphs with a power-law degree distribution

G Schoenebeck, FY Yu - Web and Internet Economics: 12th International …, 2016 - Springer
In this paper we analyze k-complex contagions (sometimes called bootstrap percolation) on
configuration model graphs with a power-law distribution. Our main result is that if the power …

Cascades and myopic routing in nonhomogeneous kleinberg's small world model

J Gao, G Schoenebeck, FY Yu - International Conference on Web and …, 2017 - Springer
Kleinberg's small world model 20 simulates social networks with both strong and weak ties.
In his original paper, Kleinberg showed how the distribution of weak-ties, parameterized by γ …
