Epidemics on random intersection graphs [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper we consider a model for the spread of a stochastic SIR (Susceptible $\to$ Infectious $\to$ Recovered) epidemic on a network of individuals described by a random intersection graph.

Fluctuating epidemics on adaptive networks [PDF]
, 2008 A model for epidemics on an adaptive network is considered. Nodes follow an SIRS (susceptible-infective-recovered-susceptible) pattern. Connections are rewired to break links from non-infected nodes to infected nodes and are reformed to connect to other ...

Efficiency of prompt quarantine measures on a susceptible-infected-removed model in networks [PDF]
, 2017 This study focuses on investigating the manner in which a prompt quarantine measure suppresses epidemics in networks. A simple and ideal quarantine measure is considered in which an individual is detected with a probability immediately after it becomes ...
