    • A model of large-scale proteome evolution 

      Vicente Solé, Ricardo; Pastor Satorras, Romualdo; Smith, E; Kepler, T .B. (2002-03)
      Article
      Open Access
      The next step in the understanding of the genome organization, after the determination of complete sequences, involves proteomics. The proteome includes the whole set of protein-protein interactions, and two recent independent ...
    • Absence of epidemic threshold in scale-free networks with degree correlations 

      Boguña Espinal, Marian; Pastor Satorras, Romualdo; Vespignani, Alessandro (American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2003-01-15)
      Article
      Open Access
      Random scale-free networks have the peculiar property of being prone to the spreading of infections. Here we provide for the susceptible-infected-susceptible model an exact result showing that a scale-free degree distribution ...

      Perra, N.; Gonçalves, B.; Pastor Satorras, Romualdo; Vespignani, Alessandro (2012-06-25)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Network modeling plays a critical role in identifying statistical regularities and structural principles common to many systems. The large majority of recent modeling approaches are connectivity driven. The structural ...

      We present an exhaustive mathematical analysis of the recently proposed Non-Poissonian Activity Driven (NoPAD) model [Moinet et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 108701 (2015)], a temporal network model incorporating the empirically ...
    • Amplitude death and restoration in networks of oscillators with random-walk diffusion 

      Clusella Coberó, Pau; Pastor Satorras, Romualdo (2021-01-26)
      Article
      Open Access
      Systems composed of reactive particles diffusing in a network display emergent dynamics. While Fick’s diffusion can lead to Turing patterns, other diffusion schemes might display more complex phenomena. Here we study the ...
    • Analytic model for the ballistic adsorption of polydisperse mixtures 

      Pastor Satorras, Romualdo (1999-05)
      Article
      Open Access
      We study the ballistic adsorption of a polydisperse mixture of spheres onto a line. Within a mean-field approximation, the problem can be analytically solved by means of a kinetic equation for the gap distribution. In the ...
    • Analytic solution of a static scale-free network model 

      Catanzaro, Michele; Pastor Satorras, Romualdo (Springer, 2005-04-20)
      Article
      Open Access
      We present a detailed analytical study of a paradigmatic scale-free network model, the Static Model. Analytical expressions for its main properties are derived by using the hidden variables formalism. We map the model into ...
    • Anomalous scaling in the Zhang model 

      Pastor Satorras, Romualdo; Vespignani, Alessandro (Springer, 2000-10-04)
      Article
      Open Access
      We apply the moment analysis technique to analyze large scale simulations of the Zhang sandpile model. We find that this model shows different scaling behavior depending on the update mechanism used. With the standard ...
    • Ballistic adsorption of colloidal magnetic particles 

      Pastor Satorras, Romualdo; Rubí Capaceti, José Miguel (1999-11-29)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      We present a new model of sequential adsorption in which the adsorbing particles experience anisotropic dipolar interactions. These long-range interactions induce highly ordered structures in the adsorbed layer at low ...
    • Bosonic reaction-diffusion processes on scale-free networks 

      Baronchelli, Andrea; Catanzaro, Michele; Pastor Satorras, Romualdo (2008-07-23)
      Article
      Open Access
      Reaction-diffusion processes can be adopted to model a large number of dynamics on complex networks, such as transport processes or epidemic outbreaks. In most cases, however, they have been studied from a fermionic ...
    • Branch distribution in diffusion-limited aggregation: a maximum entropy approach 

      Pastor Satorras, Romualdo; Wagensberg Lubinski, Jorge (1996-02-15)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      A new approach to the branching structure of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) clusters is proposed, in which the stress is laid not on the (traditionally used) order of the branches, but on their mass. The branch ...
    • Breaking of scale invariance symmetry in adsorption processes 

      Pastor Satorras, Romualdo; Rubí Capaceti, José Miguel (2000-08)
      Article
      Open Access
      Standard models of sequential adsorption are implicitly formulated in a scale invariant form, by assuming adsorption on an infinite surface, with no characteristic length scales. In real situations, however, involving ...
    • Burstiness and aging in social temporal networks 

      Moinet, Antoine; Starnini, Michele; Pastor Satorras, Romualdo (2015-03-13)
      Article
      Open Access
      The presence of burstiness in temporal social networks, revealed by a power-law form of the waiting time distribution of consecutive interactions, is expected to produce aging effects in the corresponding time-integrated ...
    • Characterization and modeling of weighted networks 

      Barthelemy, M; Barrat, A; Pastor Satorras, Romualdo; Vespignani, Alessandro (2005-01)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      We review the main tools which allow for the statistical characterization of weighted networks. We then present two case studies, the airline connection network and the scientific collaboration network which are representatives ...

      We study a class of models of correlated random networks in which vertices are characterized by hidden variables controlling the establishment of edges between pairs of vertices. We find analytical expressions for the main ...
    • Collective versus hub activation of epidemic phases on networks 

      Ferreira, Silvio C.; Salvador, Renan; Pastor Satorras, Romualdo (AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2016-03-14)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      We consider a general criterion to discern the nature of the threshold in epidemic models on scale-free (SF) networks. Comparing the epidemic lifespan of the nodes with largest degrees with the infection time between them, ...
    • Competing activation mechanisms in epidemics on networks 

      Castellano, Claudio; Pastor Satorras, Romualdo (2012-04-20)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      In contrast to previous common wisdom that epidemic activity in heterogeneous networks is dominated by the hubs with the largest number of connections, recent research has pointed out the role that the innermost, dense ...

      Pastor Satorras, Romualdo; Vespignani, Alessandro (2010-07)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      The Turing mechanism provides a paradigm for the spontaneous generation of patterns in reaction–diffusion systems. A framework that describes Turing-pattern formation in the context of complex networks should provide a new ...
