Complex systems display emergent phenomena that vary significantly across spatial and temporal scales. These variations originate from fine-grained system processes, yet arriving at macroscopic dynamics from micro-level data -- particularly…
Analytical studies of network epidemiology almost exclusively focus on the extreme situations where the time scales of network dynamics are well separated (longer or shorter) from that of epidemic propagation. In realistic scenarios,…
