Statistical physics of social dynamics

C Castellano, S Fortunato, V Loreto - Reviews of modern physics, 2009 - APS
Statistical physics has proven to be a fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the
realm of traditional physics. Recent years have witnessed an attempt by physicists to study …

Uncovering individual and collective human dynamics from mobile phone records

J Candia, MC González, P Wang… - Journal of physics A …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org

The rumor diffusion process with emerging independent spreaders in complex networks

W Li, S Tang, S Pei, S Yan, S Jiang, X Teng… - Physica A: Statistical …, 2014 - Elsevier
Rumor diffusion on complex networks has been widely investigated assuming that an
individual learns the rumor merely from its neighbors, which, however, is not always the …

An interplay model for rumour spreading and emergency development

Z Zhang, Z Zhang - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2009 - Elsevier
Rumours influence how people make decisions in an emergency-affected environment.
Conversely, the development of situation is affected by public action as well. We present a …

Robust-yet-fragile nature of interdependent networks

F Tan, Y Xia, Z Wei - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
