Symbiotic and antagonistic disease dynamics on networks using bond percolatio [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 104, 024303. 2021, 2023 In this paper we introduce a novel description of the equilibrium state of a bond percolation process on random graphs using the exact method of generating functions. This allows us to find the expected size of the giant connected component (GCC) of two sequential bond percolation processes in which the bond occupancy probability of the second process ...
