Abstract Models of epidemic spreading on complex networks have attracted great attention
among researchers in physics, mathematics, and epidemiology due to their success in …

Moment closure methods appear in myriad scientific disciplines in the modelling of complex
systems. The goal is to achieve a closed form of a large, usually even infinite, set of coupled …

To slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, many universities shifted to online instruction
and now face the question of whether and how to resume in-person instruction. This article …

Over the past decade, the use of networks has led to a new modelling paradigm combining
several branches of science, including physics, mathematics, biology and social sciences …

Traditionally, much of the study of networks has focused on structural features. Indeed,
mathematical subjects such as graph theory have a rich history of investigating network …

In a cascading power transmission outage, component outages propagate nonlocally; after
one component outages, the next failure may be very distant, both topologically and …

The emergence of Zika and Ebola demonstrates the importance of understanding the role of
sexual transmission in the spread of diseases with a primarily non-sexual transmission …

A common theme among previously proposed models for network epidemics is the
assumption that the propagating object (eg, a pathogen [in the context of infectious disease …

The novel coronavirus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-Coronavirus-2 (CoV-2)
has resulted in an ongoing pandemic and has affected over 200 countries around the world …

We consider the recently introduced edge-based compartmental models (EBCM) for the
spread of susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) diseases in networks. These models differ …
