Influential groups for seeding and sustaining nonlinear contagion in heterogeneous hypergraphs
Group interactions can dramatically alter social contagion dynamics and lead to the emergence of new phenomena like abrupt transitions and critical mass effects. The authors develop an approximate master equation framework to analytically describe contagion in heterogeneous hypergraphs and study the...

| Summary: | Group interactions can dramatically alter social contagion dynamics and lead to the emergence of new phenomena like abrupt transitions and critical mass effects. The authors develop an approximate master equation framework to analytically describe contagion in heterogeneous hypergraphs and study the impact of large influential groups in seeding and sustaining epidemics. |
