Homophily in the adoption of digital proximity tracing apps shapes the evolution of epidemics

We study how homophily of human physical interactions affects the impact of digital proximity tracing on the epidemic evolution. Analytical and numerical results show the existence of different dynamical regimes with respect to the mixing rate between adopters and nonadopters, revealing a rich pheno...
