Heterogeneous population dynamics and scaling laws near epidemic outbreaks

In this paper, we focus on the influence of heterogeneity and stochasticity of the population on thedynamical structure of a basic susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model. Firstwe prove that, upon a suitable mathematical reformulation of the basic reproduction number, thehomogeneous system and...
