Bursts of Vertex Activation and Epidemics in Evolving Networks
Bursts of Vertex Activation and Epidemics in Evolving Networks
Empirical studies suggest that contact patterns follow heterogeneous inter-event times, meaning that intervals of high activity are followed by periods of inactivity. Combined with birth and death of individuals, these temporal constraints affect the spread of infections in a non-trivial way and are dependent on the particular contact dynamics. We …
