چکیده

We propose a novel SIR epidemic model which is driven by the transmission of infection packets in networks. Specifically, infected nodes generate and deliver infection packets causing the spread of the epidemic, while recovered nodes block the delivery of infection packets, and this inhibits the epidemic spreading. The efficient routing protocol governed by a control parameter α is used in the packet transmission. We obtain the maximum instantaneous population of infected nodes, the maximum population of ever infected nodes, as well as the corresponding optimal α through simulation. We find that generally more balanced load distribution leads to more intense and wide spread of an epidemic in networks. Increasing either average node degree or homogeneity of degree distribution will facilitate epidemic spreading. When packet generation rate ρ is small, increasing ρ favors epidemic spreading. However, when ρ is large enough, traffic congestion appears which inhibits epidemic spreading. PACS numbers: 89.75.Hc, 89.75.Fb, 05.10.-a 2

Traffic Driven Epidemic Spreading in Weighted Homogeneous Networks

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 ...

Traffic 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 ...

Network-based analysis of stochastic SIR epidemic models with random and proportionate mixing.

In this paper, we outline the theory of epidemic percolation networks and their use in the analysis of stochastic susceptible-infectious-removed (SIR) epidemic models on undirected contact networks. We then show how the same theory can be used to analyze stochastic SIR models with random and proportionate mixing. The epidemic percolation networks for these models are purely directed because und...

Dynamics 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...

Traffic-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...
