Asynchronous SIR model on Two-Dimensional Quasiperiodic Lattices

Abstract: We considered the Asynchronous SIR (susceptible-infected-removed) model on Penrose and Ammann-Beenker quasiperiodic lattices, and obtained its critical behavior by using Newman-Ziff algorithm to track cluster propagation by making a tree structure of clusters grown at the dynamics, allowing to simulate SIR model on non-periodic lattices and measure any observable related to percolation. We numerically calculated the order parameter, defined in a geographical fashion by distinguish between an epidemic state, characterized by a spanning cluster formed by the removed nodes and the endemic state, where there is no spanning cluster. We obtained the averaged mean cluster size which plays the role of a susceptibility, and a cumulant ratio defined for percolation to estimate the epidemic threshold. Our numerical results suggest that the system falls into two-dimensional dynamic percolation universality class and the quasiperiodic order is irrelevant, in according to results for classical percolation.
