Hypergraphs provide a natural way of representing group relations, whose complexity motivates an extensive array of prior work to adopt some form of abstraction and simplification of higher-order interactions. However, the following…

We analytically explore the scaling properties of a general class of nested subgraphs in complex networks, which includes the $K$-core and the $K$-scaffold, among others. We name such class of subgraphs $K$-nested subgraphs due to the fact…

Empirical evidence reveals that contagion processes often occur with competition of simple and complex contagion, meaning that while some agents follow simple contagion, others follow complex contagion. Simple contagion refers to spreading…

Temporal hypergraphs capture time-resolved group interactions among nodes. Empirical data support that time-stamped group interactions show bursty event sequences and non-trivial temporal correlations. In the present study, we introduce…

Multiplex contagion dynamics display localization phenomena in which spreading activity concentrates on a subset of layers, as well as delocalized regimes where layers behave collectively. We investigate how these regimes are encoded in…

Recent studies have shown that novel collective behaviors emerge in complex systems due to higher-order interactions. However, the way in which the structural correlations of these interactions shape such behaviors remains a significant gap…

Community structure is an important factor in the behavior of real-world networks because it strongly affects the stability and thus the phase transition order of the spreading dynamics. We here propose a reversible social contagion model…
