Social contagion models on hypergraphs
Guilherme Ferraz de Arruda, Giovanni Petri, Yamir Moreno
Abstract
The authors show that social contagion dynamics display a complex phase space, characterized by first and second order transitions, bistability, and hysteresis. The authors also extend the concept of latent heat to social contexts, which could provide insights into oscillatory social behaviors
