Temporal Characteristics of the Chinese Aviation Network and their Effects on the Spread of Infectious Diseases

Abstract Aviation transportation systems have developed rapidly in recent years and have become a focus for research on the modeling of epidemics. However, despite the number of studies on aggregated topological structures and their effects on the spread of disease, the temporal sequence of flights...
