Impact of temporary lockdown on disease extinction in assortative networks
Elad Korngut, Michael Assaf
Changing environmental conditions can significantly affect the dynamics of disease spread. These changes may arise naturally or result from human interventions; in the latter case,…
Short-time statistics of extinction and blowup in reaction kinetics
Rotem Degany, Michael Assaf, Baruch Meerson
We study the statistics of extinction and blowup times in well-mixed systems of stochastically reacting particles. We focus on the short-time tail, , of the extinction- or…
Large deviations in non-Markovian stochastic epidemics
Matan Shmunik, Michael Assaf
We develop a framework for non-Markovian, well-mixed SIR and SIS models beyond mean field, utilizing the continuous-time random walk formalism. Using a gamma distribution for the i…
Spatial correlations in SIS processes on random regular graphs
Alexander Leibenzon, Samuel W. S. Johnson, Ruth E. Baker +1
In network-based SIS models of infectious disease transmission, infection can only occur between directly connected individuals. This constraint naturally gives rise to spatial cor…
