Corrigendum: Six Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible Models on Scale-free Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Spreading phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and society. For example, disease and information spread over underlying social and information networks. It is well known that there is no threshold for spreading models on scale-free networks; this suggests that spread can occur on such networks, regardless of how low the contact rate may be. In this paper, I consider six models with different contact and propagation mechanisms, which include models studied so far, but are apt to be confused. To compare these six models, I analyze them by degree-based mean-field theory. I find that the result depends on the details of contact and propagation mechanism.

Modeling the Dynamics of Infectious Diseases in Different Scale-Free Networks with the Same Degree Distribution
The transmission dynamics of some infectious diseases is related to the contact structure between individuals in a network. We used five algorithms to generate contact networks with different topological structure but with the same scale-free degree distribution. We simulated the spread of acute and chronic infectious diseases on these networks, using SI (Susceptible – Infected) and SIS (Suscep...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Identifying a set of influential spreaders in complex networks
Identifying a set of influential spreaders in complex networks plays a crucial role in effective information spreading. A simple strategy is to choose top-r ranked nodes as spreaders according to influence ranking method such as PageRank, ClusterRank and k-shell decomposition. Besides, some heuristic methods such as hill-climbing, SPIN, degree discount and independent set based are also propose...
متن کاملThresholds for epidemic spreading in networks
We study the threshold of epidemic models in quenched networks with degree distribution given by a power-law. For the susceptible-infected-susceptible model the activity threshold λ(c) vanishes in the large size limit on any network whose maximum degree k(max) diverges with the system size, at odds with heterogeneous mean-field (HMF) theory. The vanishing of the threshold has nothing to do with...
متن کاملBehaviors of susceptible-infected epidemics on scale-free networks with identical infectivity.
In this paper, we propose a susceptible-infected model with identical infectivity, in which, at every time step, each node can only contact a constant number of neighbors. We implemented this model on scale-free networks, and found that the infected population grows in an exponential form with the time scale proportional to the spreading rate. Furthermore, by numerical simulation, we demonstrat...
متن کاملBehavior of susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemics on heterogeneous networks with saturation.
We investigate saturation effects in susceptible-infected-susceptible models of the spread of epidemics in heterogeneous populations. The structure of interactions in the population is represented by networks with connectivity distribution P(k), including scale-free (SF) networks with power law distributions P(k) approximately k(-gamma). Considering cases where the transmission of infection bet...
