SIS Immortality Transition for KPS spring meeting 2015
The SIS immortality transition in small networks
Petter Holme
Sungkyunkwan University
The SIS model
Models diseases where re-infection is possible
Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, are exampled from
sexually transmitted infections (and thus appro-
priate for network epidemiology)
A population of susceptible (S) and infectious (I)
When S meets I, there is a probability λ that S
will become I
I becomes S again after some time, or with some
chance per unit of time
Two areas of current research
1.The epidemic threshold (phase transition in λ).
2.The extinction probability as a function of λ.
Both points when N → ∞
The immortality transition
There is another phase transition (threshold)—
when λ = 1. The mean time to extinction
diverges at this point.
It may seem trivial (since it is not an emergent
property in the N → ∞), but we will pretend it is
not.
Our example networks
We could take any small networks with a variety
of network structures, but to honor the network
epidemiology pioneers we use:
D. M. Auerbach, W. W. Darrow, H. W. Jaffe, and
J. W. Curran, Am. J. Med. 76, 487 (1984).
S. Haraldsdottir, S. Gupta, and R. M. Anderson,
J. Acquir. Immune Defic. Syndr. 5, 374 (1992).
