Accuracy of discrete- and continuous-time mean-field theories for epidemic processes on complex networks
Accuracy of discrete- and continuous-time mean-field theories for epidemic processes on complex networks
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 hand, one does not expect drastic differences between these approaches, and the choice is usually based on one's expertise or methodological convenience, on …
