More in general models of social behavior and human mobility are often framed as reaction-diffusion processes where each node $i$ is allowed to host any nonnegative integer number of particles $\mathcal{N}(i)$, so that the total particle population of the system is $\mathcal{N}=\sum_i\mathcal{N}(i)$. This particle-network framework considers that each particle diffuses along the edges connecting nodes with a diffusion coefficient that depends on the node degree and/or other node attributes. Within each node particles may react according to different schemes characterizing the interaction dynamics of the system. A simple sketch of the particle-network framework is represented in the Figure. | More in general models of social behavior and human mobility are often framed as reaction-diffusion processes where each node $i$ is allowed to host any nonnegative integer number of particles $\mathcal{N}(i)$, so that the total particle population of the system is $\mathcal{N}=\sum_i\mathcal{N}(i)$.
