Epidemic spreading behavior in local-world evolving networks

The susceptible-infected-susceptible(SIS)epidemic model is presented which can be used to study the epidemic spreading behavior in the local-world evolving network model.Local-world evolving model displays a transition from the exponential network to the scale-free network with respect to the connectivity distribution.From theoretical analyses and numerical simulations,we find that the epidemic spreading behavior on local-world networks also takes on some kind of transitional behaviors.The transitional behavior is further ver-ified by comparing the spreading behavior of local-world network with that of random and scale-free networks.Some feasible control strategies are also proposed to keep from the epidemic spreading on networks.
