Fast and exact simulations of stochastic epidemics on static and temporal networks
Samuel Cure, Florian G. Pflug, Simone Pigolotti
Epidemic models on complex networks have been widely used to study how the social structure of a population affect the spreading of epidemics. However, their numerical simulation c…
Coarsening and universality on a growing surface
Robert J. H. Ross, Simone Pigolotti
We introduce a model in which cells belonging to two species proliferate with volume exclusion on an expanding surface. If the surface expands uniformly, we show that the domains f…
Hyperdisordered cell packing on a growing surface
Robert J. H. Ross, Giovanni D. Masucci, Chun Yen Lin +3
While the physics of disordered packing in non-growing systems is well understood, unexplored phenomena can emerge when packing takes place in growing domains. We study the arrange…
Inspection paradox and jump detection in glassy systems
Simone Pigolotti, Sándalo Roldán-Vargas
Dynamics in glassy systems near the phase transition is characterized by particle jumps. Approaches to describe these dynamics are based on models in which the time and length scal…
Exponential rate of epidemic spreading on complex networks
Samuel Cure, Florian G. Pflug, Simone Pigolotti
The initial phase of an epidemic is often characterized by an exponential increase in the number of infected individuals. In this paper, we predict the exponential spreading rate o…
Target search in the CRISPR/Cas9 system: Facilitated diffusion with target cues
Qiao Lu, Simone Pigolotti
We study how Cas9, a central component of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, searches for a target sequence on the DNA. We propose a model that includes as key ingredients 3D diffusion, 1D sl…
Genome replication in asynchronously growing microbial populations
Florian Pflug, Deepak Bhat, Simone Pigolotti
Biological cells replicate their genomes in a well-planned manner. The DNA replication program of an organism determines the timing at which different genomic regions are replicate…
Length scales in Brownian yet non-Gaussian dynamics
J. M. Miotto, S. Pigolotti, A. V. Chechkin +1
According to the classical theory of Brownian motion, the mean squared displacement of diffusing particles evolves linearly with time whereas the distribution of their displacement…
