Epidemic spread in weighted networks

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study the detailed epidemic spreading process in scale-free networks with weight that denote familiarity between two people or computers. The result shows that spreading velocity reaches a peak quickly then decays representing power-law time behavior, and comparing to non-weighted networks, precise hierarchical dynamics is not found although the nodes with larger strength is preferential to be infected.
