Epidemic dynamics on scale-free networks with piecewise linear infectivity and immunization.

چکیده
We examine epidemic thresholds for disease spread using susceptible-infected-susceptible models on scale-free networks with variable infectivity. Infectivity between nodes is modeled as a piecewise linear function of the node degree (rather than the less realistic linear transformation considered previously). With this nonlinear infectivity, we derive conditions for the epidemic threshold to be positive. The effects of various immunization schemes including ring and targeted vaccination are studied and compared. We find that both targeted and ring immunization strategies compare favorably to a proportional scheme in terms of effectiveness.

Epidemic spreading with nonlinear infectivity in weighted scale-free networks
In this paper, we investigate the epidemic spreading for SIR model in weighted scale-free networks with nonlinear infectivity, where the transmission rate in our analytical model is weighted. Concretely, we introduce the infectivity exponent α and the weight exponent β into the analytical SIR model, then examine the combination effects of α and β on the epidemic threshold and phase transition. ...
متن کاملAn SIS model with infective medium on complex networks
In this paper, a new susceptible-infected-susceptible model with infective medium is proposed, which describes epidemics (e.g. malaria) transmitted by infective media (e.g. mosquitoes) on various complex networks. The dynamic behaviours of the model on a homogeneous network and a heterogenous scale-free network are considered, respectively, where the absence of the threshold on the scale-free n...
متن کاملDynamics of a Delayed Epidemic Model with Beddington-DeAngelis Incidence Rate and a Constant Infectious Period
In this paper, an SIR epidemic model with an infectious period and a non-linear Beddington-DeAngelis type incidence rate function is considered. The dynamics of this model depend on the reproduction number R0. Accurately, if R0 < 1, we show the global asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium by analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation and using compa...
متن کاملImperfect targeted immunization in scale-free networks
Scale-free networks are prone to epidemic spreading. To provide cost-effective protection for such networks, targeted immunization was proposed to selectively immunize the hub nodes. In many real-life applications, however, the targeted immunization may not be perfect, either because some hub nodes are hidden and consequently not immunized, or because the vaccination simply cannot provide perfe...
متن کاملImmunization and epidemic dynamics in complex networks
We study the behavior of epidemic spreading in networks, and, in particular, scale free networks. We use the Susceptible–Infected–Removed (SIR) epidemiological model. We give simulation results for the dynamics of epidemic spreading. By mapping the model into a static bond-percolation model we derive analytical results for the total number of infected individuals. We study this model with vario...
