Accurate identification of effective epidemic threshold is essential for understanding epidemic dynamics on complex networks. The existing studies on the effective epidemic threshold of the susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) model generally assume that all infected nodes immediately recover after the infection process, which more or less does not conform to the realistic situation of disease. In this paper, we systematically study the effect of arbitrary recovery rate on the SIR spreading dynamics on complex networks. We derive the theoretical effective epidemic threshold and final outbreak size based on the edge-based compartmental theory. To validate the proposed theoretical predictions, extensive numerical experiments are implemented by using asynchronous and synchronous updating methods. When asynchronous updating method is used in simulations, recovery rate does not affect the final state of spreading dynamics. But with synchronous updating, we find that the effective epidemic threshold decreases with recovery rate, and final outbreak size increases with recovery rate. A good agreement between the theoretical predictions and numerical results are observed on both synthetic and real-world networks. Our results extend the existing theoretical studies, and help us to understand the phase transition with arbitrary recovery rate.

We study the effect of heterogeneous temporal activations on epidemic spreading in temporal networks. We focus on the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model on activity-driven networks with burstiness. By using an activity-based mean-field appr oach, we derive a closed analytical form for the epidemic threshold for arbitrary activity and inter-event time distributions. We show that, as expected, burstiness lowers the epidemic threshold while its effect on prevalence is twofold. In low-infective systems burstiness raises the average infection probability, while it weakens epidemic spreading for high infectivity. Our results can help clarify the conflicting effects of burstiness reported in the literature. We also discuss the scaling properties at the transition, showing that they are not affected by burstiness.
In this work we study a modified Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) model in which the infection rate $lambda$ decays exponentially with the number of reinfections $n$, saturating after $n=l$. We find a critical decaying rate $epsilon_{c}(l)$ abo ve which a finite fraction of the population becomes permanently infected. From the mean-field solution and computer simulations on hypercubic lattices we find evidences that the upper critical dimension is 6 like in the SIR model, which can be mapped in ordinary percolation.
We analyze the evolution of Sznajd Model with synchronous updating in several complex networks. Similar to the model on square lattice, we have found a transition between the state with no-consensus and the state with complete consensus in several co mplex networks. Furthermore, by adjusting the network parameters, we find that a large clustering coefficient favors development of a consensus. In particular, in the limit of large system size with the initial concentration p=0.5 of opinion +1, a consensus seems to be never reached for the Watts-Strogatz small-world network, when we fix the connectivity k and the rewiring probability p_s; nor for the scale-free network, when we fix the minimum node degree m and the triad formation step probability p_t.

Epidemic threshold is one of the most important features of the epidemic dynamics. Through a lot of numerical simulations in classic Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) and Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) models on various types of networks, we study the simulated identification of epidemic thresholds on finite-size networks. We confirm that the susceptibility measure goes awry for the SIR model due to the bimodal distribution of outbreak sizes near the critical point, while the simulated thresholds of the SIS and SIR models can be accurately determined by analyzing the peak of the epidemic variability. We further verify the accuracy of theoretical predictions derived by the heterogeneous mean-field theory (HMF) and the quenched mean-field theory (QMF), by comparing them with the simulated threshold of the SIR model obtained from the variability measure. The results show that the HMF prediction agrees very well with the simulated threshold, except the case that the networks are disassortive, in which the QMF prediction is more close to the simulated threshold.
Metapopulation epidemic models describe epidemic dynamics in networks of spatially distant patches connected with pathways for migration of individuals. In the present study, we deal with a susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) metapopulation model wh ere the epidemic process in each patch is represented by an SIR model and the mobility of individuals is assumed to be a homogeneous diffusion. Our study focuses on two types of patches including high-risk and low-risk ones, in order to evaluate intervention strategies for epidemic control. We theoretically analyze the intervention threshold, indicating the critical fraction of low-risk patches for preventing a global epidemic outbreak. We show that targeted intervention to high-degree patches is more effective for epidemic control than random intervention. The theoretical results are validated by Monte Carlo simulation for synthetic and realistic scale-free patch networks. Our approach is useful for exploring better local interventions aimed at containment of epidemics.
