A Lie algebra approach to susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemics

The susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model can be represented by a continuous-time Markov chain, which is governed by a set of deterministic differential equations (Kolmogorov forward equations). In this paper, a Lie algebra approach is applied to solve an SIS model where infectio...
