Transition from time-variant to static networks: Timescale separation in N -intertwined mean-field approximation of susceptible-infectious-susceptible epidemics

We extend the N-intertwined mean-field approximation (NIMFA) for the susceptible-infectious-susceptible (SIS) epidemiological process to time-varying networks. Processes on time-varying networks are often analyzed under the assumption that the process and network evolution happen on different timescales. This approximation is called timescale...
