From: Threshold-limited spreading in social networks with multiple initiators
Time evolution of the size of the cascades S on the high-school (HS) network and its randomized version by X-swaps with identical degree sequence, with N = 921, 〈k〉 = 5.96 and ϕ = 0.18 for two different values of fraction of initiators.
(a) HS friendship network and (b) its x-swapped randomized version. (c) Direct comparison of the ensemble-averaged time series for the original HS network (red solid curve) and for its x-swapped randomized version (green solid curve); blue solid curves represent conditional average over runs for which the spread reaches the entire network. Thin black curves in (a) and (b) are individual time series. The fraction of initiators for (a–c) is p = 0.01. (d) HS friendship network and (e) its x-swapped randomized version. (f) Direct comparison of the ensemble-averaged time series for the original HS network (red solid curve) and for its x-swapped randomized version; blue solid curves represent conditional average over runs for which the spread reaches the entire network. Thin black curves in (d) and (e) are individual time series. The fraction of initiators for (d–f) is p = 0.02.
