Scientific paper

In this work we study diffusion in networks with community structure. We first replicate and extend work on networks with non-overlapping community structure. We then study diffusion on network models that have overlapping community structure. We study contagions in the standard SIR model, and complex contagions thought to be better models of some social diffusion processes. Finally, we investigate diffusion on empirical networks with known overlapping community structure, by analysing the structure of such networks, and by simulating contagion on them. We find that simple and complex contagions can spread fast in networks with overlapping community structure. We also find that short paths exist through overlapping community structure on empirical networks.
