Contagion processes on networks, including disease spreading, information diffusion, or social behaviors propagation, can be modeled as simple contagion, i.e. involving one connection at a time, or as complex contagion, in which multiple…

We study noisy majority-rule dynamics on annealed hypergraphs to clarify how variability in group interaction sizes reshapes collective ordering. At each update, a group is sampled from a prescribed size distribution and either follows the…

Spontaneous explosive emergent behavior takes place in heterogeneous networks when the frequencies of the nodes are positively correlated to the node degree. A central feature of such explosive transitions is a hysteretic behavior at the…
