On the effectiveness of random walks for modeling epidemics on networks.

Random walks on graphs are often used to analyse and predict epidemic spreads and to investigate possible control actions to mitigate them. In this study, we first show that models based on random walks with a single stochastic agent (such as Google's popular PageRank) may provide a poor descri...
