Phase transitions in some epidemic models defined on small-world networks

Statistical Mechanics 2016-08-31 v1 q-bio

Abstract

Some modified versions of susceptible-infected-recovered-susceptible (SIRS) model are defined on small-world networks. Latency, incubation and variable susceptibility are included, separately. Phase transitions in these models are studied. Then inhomogeneous models are introduced. In some cases, the application of the models to small-world networks is shown to increase the epidemic region.
