Traffic Driven Epidemic Spreading in Weighted Homogeneous Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
To investigate the impact of weights on the traffic driven epidemic spreading in weighted homogeneous networks, an epidemic model in pseudo-random network with adjustable weights is presented. In the scenario that epidemic pathway is defined and driven by traffic flows, the epidemic spreading velocity of SI model in weighted homogeneous networks is obviously accelerated when the edge weight is different. And in traffic driven SIS model, the epidemic threshold is found to be proportional to the inverse of the average node betweenness. It is better to control the epidemic spreading when the edges have the same weight. Simulation results have confirmed the theoretical predictions.

Control of Traffic Driven Epidemics in Weighted Networks by Immunizing Edges
Many immunization strategies have been proposed to control the epidemic spreading which mainly focus on how to immunize the nodes. A novel and efficient strategy to control the traffic driven epidemic spreading in weighted networks is proposed in this paper. By immunizing the edges according to different weights, our control strategies cannot only reduce the epidemic spreading velocity and enha...
متن کاملTraffic Driven Epidemic Spreading in Homogeneous Networks with Community Structure
To understand the effect of the community structure on the epidemic propagation in homogeneous networks, a model of pseudo-random network is presented with adjustable community structure and constant average degree. In the scenario that the propagation is driven by reaction processes from nodes to all neighbors, pronounced community structure can reduce the epidemic propagation velocity. While ...
متن کاملTraffic-driven epidemic spreading in correlated networks
In spite of the extensive previous efforts on traffic dynamics and epidemic spreading in complex networks, the problem of traffic-driven epidemic spreading on correlated networks has not been addressed. Interestingly, we find that the epidemic threshold, a fundamental quantity underlying the spreading dynamics, exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior in that it can be minimized for some critical value...
متن کاملTraffic-driven epidemic spreading on networks of mobile agents
The question as to how traffic or transportation processes on complex networks can shape the dynamics of epidemic spreading is of great interest for a number of areas. We study traffic-driven epidemic spreading on networks of mobile agents by incorporating two routing strategies: random and greedy. We find that for the case of infinite agent delivery capacity, increasing the moving velocity has...
متن کاملEpidemic Spreading in Weighted Networks: An Edge-Based Mean-Field Solution
Weight distribution greatly impacts the epidemic spreading taking place on top of networks. This paper presents a study of a susceptible-infected-susceptible model on regular random networks with different kinds of weight distributions. Simulation results show that the more homogeneous weight distribution leads to higher epidemic prevalence, which, unfortunately, could not be captured by the tr...
