Abstract
- Early studies of non-Markovian epidemics focused on SIR dynamics on fully connected networks, or homogeneously mixing populations, with the infection process being Markovian but with the infectious period taken from a general distribution [8, 278, 292, 293]. These approaches use probability theory arguments and typically focus on characterising the distribution of final epidemic sizes for finite populations, or on the average size in the infinite population limit. Similarly, the quasi-stationary distribution in a stochastic SIS model, again in a fully connected network, has been the subject of many studies [66, 230, 231]. More recently, it has been shown that one can readily apply results from queueing [19] or branching process [233] theory, or use martingales [65] to cast the same questions within a different framework and obtain results more readily.
