Impacts of bridging nodes on the epidemic activation mechanisms

José Carlos M. Silva, Diogo H. Silva, Wesley Cota +2

Bridging nodes, which connect critical components of a network, play an important role in maintaining structural integrity and facilitating communication within the network, repres…

Consequences of non-Markovian healing processes on epidemic models with recurrent infections on networks

José Carlos M. Silva, Diogo H. Silva, Francisco A. Rodrigues +1

Infections diseases are marked by recovering time distributions which can be far from the exponential one associated with Markovian/Poisson processes, broadly applied in epidemic c…

Accuracy of discrete- and continuous-time mean-field theories for epidemic processes on complex networks

Diogo H. Silva, Francisco A. Rodrigues, Silvio C. Ferreira

Discrete- and continuous-time approaches are frequently used to model the role of heterogeneity on dynamical interacting agents on the top of complex networks. While, on the one ha…

Comparison of theoretical approaches for epidemic processes with waning immunity in complex networks

José Carlos M. Silva, Diogo H. Silva, Francisco A. Rodrigues +1

The role of waning immunity in basic epidemic models on networks has been undervalued while being noticeable fundamental for real epidemic outbreaks. One central question is which…

Epidemic outbreaks with adaptive prevention on complex networks

Diogo H. Silva, Celia Anteneodo, Silvio C. Ferreira

The adoption of prophylaxis attitudes, such as social isolation and use of face masks, to mitigate epidemic outbreaks strongly depends on the support of the population. In this wor…

Dissecting localization phenomena of dynamical processes on networks

Diogo H. Silva, Silvio C. Ferreira

Localization phenomena permeate many branches of physics playing a fundamental role on dynamical processes evolving on heterogeneous networks. These localization analyses are frequ…

High prevalence regimes in the pair quenched mean-field theory for the susceptible-infected-susceptible model on networks

Diogo H. Silva, Francisco A. Rodrigues, Silvio C. Ferreira

Reckoning of pairwise dynamical correlations significantly improves the accuracy of mean-field theories and plays an important role in the investigation of dynamical processes on c…

Spectral properties and the accuracy of mean-field approaches for epidemics on correlated networks

Diogo H. Silva, Silvio C. Ferreira, Wesley Cota +2

We present a comparison between stochastic simulations and mean-field theories for the epidemic threshold of the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model on correlated networks…

Activation thresholds in epidemic spreading with motile infectious agents on scale-free networks

Diogo H. Silva, Silvio C. Ferreira

We investigate a fermionic susceptible-infected-susceptible model with mobility of infected individuals on uncorrelated scale-free networks with power-law degree distributions $P (…
