报告摘要:   We derive a stochastic SIS pairwise model by considering the change in the variables of our system due to an event. Based on diffusion approximation, we construct a low-dimensional system of stochastic differential equations that can be used to describe the diffusion limit of a stochastic epidemic on a regular network. Mathematical treatment of the model yields explicit expressions for each variable at equilibrium. Then, we perform a comparison between the stochastic pairwise model and the stochastic mean-field SIS model to inform about the interactions between noise and network processes. We find that the variances for these two models are almost equal when the number of neighbours is large. We explore the variance of the early growth of the epidemic when the level of infection is increasing exponentially. We provide an argument that our approach is asymptotically exact, and simulate epidemics spreading on networks to confirm the utility of our analytical results.
