The complexity of many biological, social and technological systems stems from the richness of the interactions among their units. Over the past decades, a variety of complex systems …
Over the past two decades, complex network theory provided the ideal framework for investigating the intimate relationships between the topological properties characterizing the …
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 …
There is a long tradition of using mathematical models to generate insights into the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases and assess the potential impact of different …
Historically, infectious diseases caused considerable damage to human societies, and they continue to do so today. To help reduce their impact, mathematical models of disease …
Reaction–diffusion processes have been widely used to study dynamical processes in epidemics,–and ecology in networked metapopulations. In the context of epidemics, reaction …
During an infectious disease outbreak, biases in the data and complexities of the underlying dynamics pose significant challenges in mathematically modelling the outbreak and …
In the early stages of an outbreak, the term 'pandemic'can be used to communicate about infectious disease risk, particularly by those who wish to encourage a large-scale public …
We propose a theoretical framework for the study of spreading processes in structured metapopulations, with heterogeneous agents, subjected to different recurrent mobility …
