What is a network?

A collection of N “nodes” or “vertices”, connected by links or “edges”

Examples:

• World wide web

• Internet

• Social networks

• Networks of neurons

• Coupled dynamical systems

• Bank networks

Scale-free networks

Many real-world networks (social, internet, WWW) are found to have “scale-free” degree distributions.

“Scale-free” refers to the

power law form:

Examples of degree distributions

[Boss et al, 2007]

Examples of degree distributions: directed networks

Dynamics on networks

• Binary-valued nodes:

• Epidemic models (SIS, SIR)

• Threshold dynamics (Ising model, Watts)

• ODEs at nodes:

• Coupled dynamical systems

• Coupled phase oscillators (Kuramoto model)

CUP 2008

Derivation of result

A

Main idea: pick a node A at random and calculate its probability of

becoming active. This will give ρ(∞).




Re-arrange the network in the form of a tree with A being the root.

This is a pair approximation theory, valid when:

(i) Network structure is locally tree-like (vanishing clustering coefficient).

(ii) The state of each node is altered at most once.

average fraction of

active nodes

Extensions of analytical approach

• Generalized cascade dynamics: • SIR-type epidemics • Percolation • K-core sizes

• Directed networks

• Degree-degree correlations

• Modular networks

• Asynchronous updating

• Models of networks with non-zero clustering

Conclusions: Part I

Developed a tree-based theory to calculate cascades on large

networks without use of Monte-Carlo simulations

• cascade condition gives analytical insight

Described for the Watts threshold model, but also applied to other

types of cascade dynamics

Described for configuration model networks, but also applied to

other random graph ensembles

• Our work: see www.ul.ie/gleesonj

Certain classes of cascade dynamics can be solved (semi-)

analytically on random network models

We have shown how two models for systemic risk in banking

networks (Nier et al and Gai & Kapadia) may be analysed without

use of Monte-Carlo simulations

Our methods may be extended to other (less stylized) models,

and used to consider amelioration strategies for default contagion
