Virus Spread in Networks

Abstract

The influence of the network characteristics on the virus spread is analyzed in a new-theN-intertwined Markov chain-model, whose only approximation lies in the application of mean field theory. The mean field approximation is quantified in detail. TheN-intertwined model has been compared with the exact 2N-state Markov model and with previously proposed ldquohomogeneousrdquo or ldquolocalrdquo models. The sharp epidemic threshold tauc, which is a consequence of mean field theory, is rigorously shown to be equal to tauc= 1/(lambdamax(A)) , where lambdamax(A) is the largest eigenvalue-the spectral radius-of the adjacency matrixA. A continued fraction expansion of the steady-state infection probability at nodejis presented as well as several upper bounds.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
