Majority bootstrap percolation on the random graph $G_{n,p}$ is a process of spread of "activation" on a given realisation of the graph with a given number of initially active nodes. At each step those vertices which have more active…

The $r$-neighbour bootstrap process on a graph $G$ begins with a set of infected vertices; subsequently, healthy vertices become infected once they have at least $r$ infected neighbours. The central extremal problem in bootstrap percolation…

A hybrid phase transition (HPT) that exhibits properties of continuous and discontinuous phase transitions at the same transition point has been observed in diverse complex systems. Previous studies of the HPTs on complex networks mainly…

Bootstrap percolation provides an emblematic instance of phase behavior characterised by an abrupt transition with diverging critical fluctuations. This unusual hybrid situation generally occurs in particle systems in which the occupation…

Consider an SI process on a graph $G$ where each S--I connection becomes I--I at rate $\lambda$. Here S and I stand for ``susceptible'' and ``infected'' respectively. The evoSI model is a modification of the SI model in which S--I edges are…

In this paper we consider a model for the spread of a stochastic SIR (Susceptible $\to$ Infectious $\to$ Recovered) epidemic on a network of individuals described by a random intersection graph. Individuals belong to a random number of…

Given a graph $G$ and assuming that some vertices of $G$ are infected, the $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation rule makes an uninfected vertex $v$ infected if $v$ has at least $r$ infected neighbors. The $r$-percolation number, $m(G,r)$, of…

We consider a classic model known as bootstrap percolation on the $n \times n$ square grid. To each vertex of the grid we assign an initial state, infected or healthy, and then in consecutive rounds we infect every healthy vertex that has…

We study both numerically and analytically what happens to a random graph of average connectivity "alpha" when its leaves and their neighbors are removed iteratively up to the point when no leaf remains. The remnant is made of isolated…

We analyse the jigsaw percolation process, which may be seen as a measure of whether two graphs on the same vertex set are `jointly connected'. Bollob\'as, Riordan, Slivken and Smith proved that when the two graphs are independent binomial…

In this Letter, we show that the explosive percolation is a novel continuous phase transition. The order-parameter-distribution histogram at the percolation threshold is studied in Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi networks, scale-free networks, and…

In this paper, we are interested in the mixing behaviour of simple random walks on inhomogeneous directed graphs. We focus our study on the Chung-Lu digraph, which is an inhomogeneous network that generalizes the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi digraph.…

We study the stationary distribution of the (spread-out) $d$-dimensional contact process from the point of view of site percolation. In this process, vertices of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ can be healthy (state 0) or infected (state 1). With rate one…

We obtain tight thresholds for bond percolation on one-dimensional small-world graphs, and apply such results to obtain tight thresholds for the \emph{Independent Cascade} process and the \emph{Reed-Frost} process in such graphs. These are…

In 2-neighborhood bootstrap percolation on a graph $G$, an infection spreads according to the following deterministic rule: infected vertices of $G$ remain infected forever and in consecutive rounds healthy vertices with at least two…

Due to their conceptual and mathematical simplicity, Erd\"os-R\'enyi or classical random graphs remain as a fundamental paradigm to model complex interacting systems in several areas. Although condensation phenomena have been widely…

Upon intense femtosecond photo-excitation, a many-body system can undergo a phase transition through a non-equilibrium route, but understanding these pathways remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we use time-resolved second harmonic…

The exponential family of random graphs is one of the most promising class of network models. Dependence between the random edges is defined through certain finite subgraphs, analogous to the use of potential energy to provide dependence…
