We investigate an SIR model of epidemic propagation on networks in the context of mean-field games. In a real epidemic, individuals adjust their behavior depending on the epidemic level and the impact it might have on them in the future.…

We study the random-field Ising model with long-range interactions and show the exactness of the mean-field theory under certain mild conditions. This is a generalization of the result of Mori for the non-random and spin-glass cases. To…
