Intermittent social distancing strategy for epidemic control
We study the critical effect of an intermittent social distancing strategy on the propagation of epidemics in adaptive complex networks. We characterize the effect of our strategy in the framework of the susceptible-infected-recovered model. In our model, based on local information, a susceptible individual interrupts the contact with an infected individual with a probability σ and restores it ...
متن کاملTargeted Social Distancing Designs for Pandemic Influenza
Targeted social distancing to mitigate pandemic influenza can be designed through simulation of influenza's spread within local community social contact networks. We demonstrate this design for a stylized community representative of a small town in the United States. The critical importance of children and teenagers in transmission of influenza is first identified and targeted. For influenza as...
متن کاملSocial distancing strategies against disease spreading
The recurrent infectious diseases and their increasing impact on the society has promoted the study of strategies to slow down the epidemic spreading. In this review we outline the applications of percolation theory to describe strategies against epidemic spreading on complex networks. We give a general outlook of the relation between link percolation and the susceptibleinfected-recovered model...
متن کاملSolving the P-dispersion Problem as a Sequence of Set Packing Feasibility Problems
The p-dispersion problem consists in selecting p out of n points, such that the minimum distance between any pair of chosen points is maximized. The problem has many applications in in facility location and in diversified sampling. We propose a method where a sequence of set packing feasibility problems are solved, in O(log n) iterations with a binary search procedure. Computational experiments...
متن کاملGame Theory of Social Distancing in Response to an Epidemic
Social distancing practices are changes in behavior that prevent disease transmission by reducing contact rates between susceptible individuals and infected individuals who may transmit the disease. Social distancing practices can reduce the severity of an epidemic, but the benefits of social distancing depend on the extent to which it is used by individuals. Individuals are sometimes reluctant...
