Identification of influential spreaders in complex networks
Maksim Kitsak,Maksim Kitsak,Lazaros K. Gallos,Shlomo Havlin,Fredrik Liljeros,Lev Muchnik,H. Eugene Stanley,Hernán A. Makse +7 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that the most efficient spreaders are not always necessarily the most connected agents in a network, and that the position of an agent relative to the hierarchical topological organization of the network might be as important as its connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-similarity of complex networks.
TL;DR: A power-law relation is identified between the number of boxes needed to cover the network and the size of the box, defining a finite self-similar exponent to explain the scale-free nature of complex networks and suggest a common self-organization dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence maximization in complex networks through optimal percolation
Flaviano Morone,Hernán A. Makse +1 more
TL;DR: This work maps the problem onto optimal percolation in random networks to identify the minimal set of influencers, which arises by minimizing the energy of a many-body system, where the form of the interactions is fixed by the non-backtracking matrix of the network.
Journal ArticleDOI
A phase diagram for jammed matter
TL;DR: This work presents a statistical description of jammed states in which random close packing can be interpreted as the ground state of the ensemble of jammed matter and demonstrates that random packings of hard spheres in three dimensions cannot exceed a density limit of ∼63.4 per cent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of fake news in Twitter during the 2016 US presidential election
Alexandre Bovet,Hernán A. Makse +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a dataset of 171 million tweets in the five months preceding the election day to identify 30 million tweets, from 2.2 million users, which contain a link to news outlets.
