However, interventions to control outbreaks may fundamentally alter epidemic dynamics. Here we reveal how such interventions modify the type of phase transition. In particular, we uncover three distinct types of explosive phase transitions for epidemic dynamics with capacity-limited interventions. Depending on the capacity limit, interventions may (i) leave the standard second order phase transition unchanged but exponentially suppress the probability of large outbreaks, (ii) induce a first-order discontinuous transition to macroscopic outbreaks, or (iii) cause a secondary explosive yet continuous third-order transition. These insights highlight inherent limitations in predicting and containing epidemic outbreaks. More generally our study offers a cornerstone example of a third-order explosive phase transition in complex systems.","lang":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2023-01-24T07:24:37Z","article_number":"04LT02","year":"2022","file":[{"date_created":"2023-01-24T07:24:37Z","date_updated":"2023-01-24T07:24:37Z","file_name":"2022_JourPhysics_Boerner.pdf","creator":"dernst","success":1,"file_size":1006106,"checksum":"35c5c5cb0eb17ea1b5184755daab9fc9","content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"12350","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access"}],"publication_status":"published","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"day":"25","doi":"10.1088/2632-072x/ac99cd","publication":"Journal of Physics: Complexity","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","keyword":["Artificial Intelligence","Computer Networks and Communications","Computer Science Applications","Information Systems"],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","acknowledgement":"We acknowledge support from the Volkswagen Foundation under Grant No. 99720 and the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) under Grant No. 16ICR01.
