Moment closure—a brief review

C Kuehn - Control of self-organizing nonlinear systems, 2016 - Springer
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 …

Mathematics of epidemics on networks

IZ Kiss, JC Miller, PL Simon - Cham: Springer, 2017 - Springer
Over the past decade, the use of networks has led to a new modelling paradigm combining

New moment closures based on a priori distributions with applications to epidemic dynamics

IZ Kiss, PL Simon - Bulletin of mathematical biology, 2012 - Springer
Recently, research that focuses on the rigorous understanding of the relation between
simulation and/or exact models on graphs and approximate counterparts has gained lots of …

On bounding exact models of epidemic spread on networks

PL Simon, IZ Kiss - arXiv preprint arXiv:1704.01726, 2017 - arxiv.org
In this paper we use comparison theorems from classical ODE theory in order to rigorously
show that the N-Intertwined Mean-Field Approximation (NIMFA) model provides an upper …

Approximate master equations for dynamical processes on graphs

We extrapolate from the exact master equations of epidemic dynamics on fully connected
graphs to non-fully connected by keeping the size of the state space N+ 1, where N is the …

Bounds for the expected value of one-step processes

B Armbruster, Á Besenyei, PL Simon - arXiv preprint arXiv:1505.00898, 2015 - arxiv.org
Mean-field models are often used to approximate Markov processes with large state-spaces.
One-step processes, also known as birth-death processes, are an important class of such …

[PDF][PDF] Mean-field approximation of counting processes from a differential equation perspective

D Kunszenti-Kovács, P Simon L - Electronic Journal of Qualitative …, 2016 - real.mtak.hu
Deterministic limit of a class of continuous time Markov chains is considered based purely

On the error of Fokker-Planck approximations of some one-step density dependent processes

D Kunszenti-Kovács - arXiv preprint arXiv:1612.08829, 2016 - arxiv.org
Using operator semigroup methods, we show that Fokker-Planck type second-order PDE-s
can be used to approximate the evolution of the distribution of a one-step process on $ N …
