  • A Bounded-Confidence Model of Opinion Dynamics with Heterogeneous Node-Activity Levels

    Grace J Li, Mary A Porter et al.PREPRINT2022

    Agent-based models of opinion dynamics examine the spread of opinions between entities and allow one to study phenomena such as consensus, polarization, and fragmentation. One examines them on social networks to investigate the effects of network structure on these phenomena. In social networks, some individuals share their ideas and opinions more frequently than others.These disparities can arise from heterogeneous sociabilities, heterogeneous a…

  • Role detection in bicycle-sharing networks using multilayer stochastic block models

    Open AccessJane Carlen, Jaume De Dios Pont et al.ARTICLENetwork Science2022Cited by: 1References: 5

    In urban systems, there is an interdependency between neighborhood roles and transportation patterns between neighborhoods. In this paper, we classify docking stations in bicycle-sharing networks to gain insight into the human mobility patterns of three major cities in the United States. We propose novel time-dependent stochastic block models, with degree-heterogeneous blocks and either mixed or discrete block membership, which classify nodes bas…

  • An Adaptive Bounded-Confidence Model of Opinion Dynamics on Networks

    Unchitta Kan, Michelle Feng et al.PREPRINT2021

    Individuals who interact with each other in social networks often exchange ideas and influence each other's opinions. A popular approach to studying the dynamics of opinion spread on networks is by examining bounded-confidence (BC) models, in which the nodes of a network have continuous-valued states that encode their opinions and are receptive to other opinions if they lie within some confidence bound of their own opinion. We extend the Deffuant…

  • A local perspective on community structure in multilayer networks

    Open AccessLUCAS G S JEUB, MICHAEL W MAHONEY et al.ARTICLENetwork Science2017Cited by: 2References: 41

    The analysis of multilayer networks is among the most active areas of network science, and there are several methods to detect dense “communities” of nodes in multilayer networks. One way to define a community is as a set of nodes that trap a diffusion-like dynamical process (usually a random walk) for a long time. In this view, communities are sets of nodes that create bottlenecks to the spreading of a dynamical process on a network. We analyze …

  • Multilayer networks

    Mikko Kivelä, Àlex Arenas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Complex Networks2014

    In most natural and engineered systems, a set of entities interact with each other in complicated patterns that can encompass multiple types of relationships, change in time and include other types of complications. Such systems include multiple subsystems and layers of connectivity, and it is important to take such ‘multilayer’ features into account to try to improve our understanding of complex systems. Consequently, it is necessary to generali…

    Open AccessHeather A Harrington, Mariano Beguerisse-Díaz et al.ARTICLENetwork Science2013Cited by: 2References: 2

    We discuss our outreach efforts to introduce school students to network science and explain why researchers who study networks should be involved in such outreach activities. We provide overviews of modules that we have designed for these efforts, comment on our successes and failures, and illustrate the potentially enormous impact of such outreach efforts

  • Community Structure in Time-Dependent, Multiscale, and Multiplex Networks

    Open AccessPeter J Mucha, Thomas Richardson et al.ARTICLEScience2010

    Network Notation Networks are often characterized by clusters of constituents that interact more closely with each other and have more connections to one another than they do with the rest of the components of the network. However, systematically identifying and studying such community structure in complicated networks is not easy, especially when the network interactions change over time or contain multiple types of connections, as seen in many …
