Spreading of Epidemics on Scale-Free Networks with Time Delay

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the SIR model once a node is cured after infection it becomes permanently immune,but we assume this immunity to be temporary. So we obtain an epidemic model with time delay on scale-free networks. Using the mean field theory the spreading threshold and the spreading dynamics is analyzed. Theoretical results indicate that the threshold is significantly dependent on the topology of scale-free networks and time delay. Numerical simulations confirmed the theoretical results.
