My first paper in collaboration with Dirk Helbing. You can find it here.

This paper studies how social structure can promote or hinder socio-diversity, employing models of behavioral dynamics and numerical simulations.

We ran massive simulations of social influence models with networks of up to 100,000 agents and found that degree-heterogeneity obstructs diversity, while clustering and distance favor it.

We introduce a new measure of diversity, the structural diversity index, based on how random walks. Code to compute this index can be installed from PyPi (instructions)
