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…
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…
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…
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…
