Now out: "Rumor propagation on hypergraphs" (arxiv.org/abs/2504.19305). It proposes a higher-order rumor model incorporating a group-based annihilation mechanism. We characterize the model's dynamics in synthetic and real systems and compare it with empirical data (1/4)

Latest out: arxiv.org/abs/2504.19641. Here, we generalize the DomiRank centrality to multiplex networks & demonstrate using synthetic and real-world multilayer nets that it significantly improves the identification of key nodes in highly heterogeneous multiplex networks.

Back to a place that I love for yet another edition of the Lake Como School on Networks and their Applications. And in very good company!

Our work is now published in Chaos, Solitons and Fractals. PDF freely available for the next 6-7 weeks at: kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…

Very sad day: my PhD Advisor, friend, and role model, Prof. Amalio Fernández-Pacheco passed away this morning. My deepest condolences to his family. R.I.P.

📢 Nuevo artículo Uno de los grandes desafíos que encontramos para simular y entender la propagación de la COVID-19 😷 en ciudades 🏙️ fue la disponibilidad de datos de posibles contactos entre los residentes en esas ciudades. Nuestro estudio proporciona soluciones al problema

Now out (journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1…) "Interplay of epidemic spreading and vaccine uptake under complex social contagion." We coupled a disease model with a dynamic, threshold-based vaccination campaign to simulate scenarios on an age-structured multilayer net informed contact data.

Now out: when competing and cooperating strategies collide, surprising dynamics emerge. Our model shows how competition can sustain cooperation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
