We introduce and analyse a three-body consensus model (3CM) for non-linear consensus dynamics on hypergraphs. Our model incorporates reinforcing group effects, which can cause shifts in the average state of the system even in if the underlying graph is complete (corresponding to a mean-field interaction), a phenomena that may be interpreted as a type of peer pressure. We further demonstrate that for systems with two clustered groups, already a small asymmetry in our dynamics can lead to the…

Consensus Dynamics and Opinion Formation on Hypergraphs
TLDR
A unified presentation of the results presented in these publications is provided, which derives and analyse models for consensus dynamics on hypergraphs, and reuses some of the text and results presented there.
Consensus dynamics on temporal hypergraphs
TLDR
In addition to an effect on the convergence speed, the final consensus value of the temporal system can differ strongly from the consensus on the aggregated, static hypergraph, and a nonlinear consensus dynamics model in the temporal setting is considered.

TLDR
This paper derives macroscopic equations for processes on large co-evolving networks, examples being opinion polarization with the emergence of filter bubbles or other social processes such as norm development, and proposes a suitable closure at the level of a two-particle distribution.
Simplicial cascades are orchestrated by the multidimensional geometry of neuronal complexes
TLDR
A simplicial threshold model (STM) for nonlinear cascades over simplicial complexes in which dyadic, triadic and higher-order interactions are represented by k-dimensional simplices (i.e., k-simplices) involving (k − 1) vertices/nodes is developed.
What are higher-order networks?
TLDR
The goals of this survey article are to clarify what higher-order networks are, why these are interesting objects of study, and how they can be used in applications.
Higher-order motif analysis in hypergraphs
TLDR
This paper presents a meta-analyses of the immune system’s response to infectious disease and shows clear patterns in response to antibiotics and in particular the immune systems ofType A andType B infection.

Message passing all the way up
TLDR
It is shown that any function of interest the authors want to compute over graphs can, in all likelihood, be expressed using pairwise message passing – just over a potentially modified graph, and argued how most practical implementations subtly do this kind of trick anyway.
Principled Simplicial Neural Networks for Trajectory Prediction
TLDR
A simple convolutional architecture is proposed, rooted in tools from algebraic topology, for the problem of trajectory prediction, and it is shown that it obeys all three of these properties when an odd, nonlinear activation function is used.

Social contagion models on hypergraphs
TLDR
An analytical framework is developed and the concept of latent heat is extended to social contexts, which might help understanding oscillatory social behaviors and unfold the research line of higher-order models and the analytical treatment of hypergraphs.
Simplicial models of social contagion
TLDR
Higher-order social interactions, the effects of groups, are included in their model of social contagion, enabling insight into why critical masses are required to initiate social changes and contributing to the understanding of higher-order interactions in complex systems.
Dynamics of non-conservative voters
We study a family of opinion formation models in one dimension where the propensity for a voter to align with its local environment depends non-linearly on the fraction of disagreeing neighbors.…

TLDR
It is shown that heterogeneity plays an ambiguous role in determining a system's stability: increasingly heterogeneous thresholds make the system more vulnerable to global cascades; but anincreasingly heterogeneous degree distribution makes it less vulnerable.

Time scale modeling for consensus in sparse directed networks with time-varying topologies
TLDR
The paper finds suitable time-varying weights to compute the aggregate variables as time-invariant weighted averages of the states in each cluster to deal with the more challenging time-Varying directed graph case.
Mixing beliefs among interacting agents
We present a model of opinion dynamics in which agents adjust continuous opinions as a result of random binary encounters whenever their difference in opinion is below a given threshold. High…
Reaching a Consensus
Abstract Consider a group of individuals who must act together as a team or committee, and suppose that each individual in the group has his own subjective probability distribution for the unknown…
Higher-order organization of complex networks
TLDR
A generalized framework for clustering networks on the basis of higher-order connectivity patterns provides mathematical guarantees on the optimality of obtained clusters and scales to networks with billions of edges.
