Competing contact processes in the Watts-Strogatz network
Abstract
We investigate two competing contact processes on a set of Watts--Strogatz networks with the clustering coefficient tuned by rewiring. The base for network construction is one-dimensional chain of sites, where each site is directly linked to nodes labelled as and . So initially, each node has the same degree . The periodic boundary conditions are assumed as well. For each node the links to sites and are rewired to two randomly selected nodes so far not-connected to node . An increase of the rewiring probability influences the nodes degree distribution and the network clusterization coefficient . For given values of rewiring probability the set of networks is generated. The network's nodes are decorated with spin-like variables . During simulation each node having a -site in its neighbourhood converts this neighbour from to state. Conversely, a node in state having at least one neighbour also in state -state converts all nearest-neighbours of this pair into -state. The latter is realized with probability . We plot the dependence of the nodes final density on initial nodes fraction . Then, we construct the surface of the unstable fixed points in space. The system evolves more often toward for points situated above this surface while starting simulation with parameters situated below this surface leads system to . The points on this surface correspond to such value of initial fraction of nodes (for fixed values and ) for which their final density is .
