Simplicial models of social contagion
Complex networks have been successfully used to describe the spread of diseases in
populations of interacting individuals. Conversely, pairwise interactions are often not …

Opinion dynamics in social networks: From models to data
Opinions are an integral part of how we perceive the world and each other. They shape
collective action, playing a role in democratic processes, the evolution of norms, and cultural …

Social contagion on higher-order structures
In this Chapter, we discuss the effects of higher-order structures on SIS-like processes of
social contagion. After a brief motivational introduction where we illustrate the standard SIS …

Discontinuous phase transitions in the multi-state noisy q-voter model: quenched vs. annealed disorder
B Nowak, B Stoń, K Sznajd-Weron - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
We introduce a generalized version of the noisy q-voter model, one of the most popular
opinion dynamics models, in which voters can be in one of s≥ 2 states. As in the original …

Discontinuous phase transitions in the q-voter model with generalized anticonformity on random graphs
A Abramiuk-Szurlej, A Lipiecki, J Pawłowski… - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
We study the binary q-voter model with generalized anticonformity on random Erdős–Rényi
graphs. In such a model, two types of social responses, conformity and anticonformity, occur …

A bird's-eye view of naming game dynamics: From trait competition to Bayesian inference
The present contribution reviews a set of different versions of the basic naming game model,
differing in the underlying topology or in the mechanisms regulating the interactions …

COVID-19 Rumor Detection on Social Networks Based on Content Information and User Response
The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused a huge shock for human society. As people

Is Independence Necessary for a Discontinuous Phase Transition within the q-Voter Model?
We ask a question about the possibility of a discontinuous phase transition and the related
social hysteresis within the q-voter model with anticonformity. Previously, it was claimed that …

Explosive epidemic transitions induced by quarantine fatigue
LD Valdez - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2024 - Elsevier
Quarantine measures are one of the first lines of defense against the spread of infectious
diseases. However, maintaining these measures over extended periods can be challenging …
