双层网络上的社会传播

Social Contagions on Duplex Networks

双层网络上的社会传播是当前复杂性研究的热点之一。然而已有研究相对简单,无论线下网络还是线上网络往往采用均匀分布,而经验分析表明线上网络大都是非均匀的。基于这一点,本文研究了线下均匀线上非均匀双层网络上的阈值模型,重点考察了两层网络之间的耦合关系对系统鲁棒性的影响。与完全不相关耦合相比,完全正相关耦合在低连通区域削弱了系统的鲁棒性而在高连通区域增强了系统的鲁棒性,完全负相关耦合则起着相反的作用。与均匀网络相比,非均匀网络上的传播受到耦合相关性的影响更大。

The rising of online networks have provided a new ecosystem of individual interactions.Of particular interest are social contagions on duplex networks.Previous studies assume that each network is homogeneous,however,empirical analysis shows that nearly the online networks are heterogeneous.Motivated by this,we studied the threshold model on duplex networks with different online-offline coupling.Compared with uncorrelated coupling,the maximum positive coupling weakens systematic robustness for the sparse network,while enhances the robustness for the dense network.The maximum negative coupling,however,plays an opposite role.These effects are strengthened when the online network is heterogeneous.
