Challenges in Network Science Lecture 2 : Tipping Point and Branching Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
In most given systems, there is an inherent structure where objects (nodes) interact with each other (through links or edges). Critical to understanding how little things can make a big difference in the formation of random networks is the concept of tipping points. In his national best-selling book ”The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference”, Malcolm Gladwell defines a tipping point as

Central Limit Theorem in Multitype Branching Random Walk
A discrete time multitype (p-type) branching random walk on the real line R is considered. The positions of the j-type individuals in the n-th generation form a point process. The asymptotic behavior of these point processes, when the generation size tends to infinity, is studied. The central limit theorem is proved.
متن کاملAdditional Insights Into Problem Definition and Positioning From Social Science; Comment on “Four Challenges That Global Health Networks Face”
Commenting on a recent editorial in this journal which presented four challenges global health networks will have to tackle to be effective, this essay discusses why this type of analysis is important for global health scholars and practitioners, and why it is worth understanding and critically engaging with the complexities behind these challenges. Focusing on the topics of problem definition ...

متن کاملLecture 2 : Branching Processes
In the Galton-Watson Branching Process (GWBP) model the parameter is a probability distribution (p0, p1, ...), taken on by a random variable ξ. For the GWBP model we have the following rule. Branching Rule: Each individual has a random number of children in the next generation. These random variables are independent copies of ξ and have a distribution (pi). Let us now review some standard resul...
متن کاملRandom Walks and Trees
These notes provide an elementary and self-contained introduction to branching random walks. Section 1 gives a brief overview of Galton–Watson trees, whereas Section 2 presents the classical law of large numbers for branching random walks. These two short sections are not exactly indispensable, but they introduce the idea of using size-biased trees, thus giving motivations and an avant-goût to ...
