Zusammenfassung
Emergent social phenomena arise from multiple types of influence. We study
threshold cascades on a multiplex network of nodes following one of two rules:
some nodes activate when, in some layer, enough neighbors are active; the other
nodes activate when, in all layers, enough neighbors are active. Varying the
fractions of nodes following either rule facilitates or inhibits cascades.
Moreover, near the inhibition regime, global cascades appear discontinuously,
suggesting a way in which civil movements, product adoption, or financial
knock-on contagion might appear abruptly.
