The general epidemic process is a paradigmatic model in non-equilibrium statistical physics displaying a continuous phase transition between active and absorbing states.The dynamic isotropic percolation universality class captures its…

We consider a directed version of the classical Stochastic Block Model with $m\ge 2$ communities and a parameter $\alpha$ controlling the inter-community connectivity. We show that, depending on the scaling of $\alpha$, the mixing time of…

In this work we propose and investigate a new strategy of vaccination, which we call "dynamic vaccination". In our model, susceptible people become aware that one or more of their contacts are infected, and thereby get vaccinated with…
