Abstract

The last few years have seen remarkably fast progress in the understanding of statistics and epidemic dynamics of various clustered networks. This paper considers a class of networks based around a concept (the locale) that allows asymptotically exact results to be derived for epidemic dynamics. While there is no restriction on the motifs that can be found in such graphs, each node must be uniquely assigned to a generally clustered subgraph to obtain analytic traction.
