  • [1111.7267] The struc­ture of coe­volv­ing infec­tion networks

    “Dis­ease aware­ness in infec­tion dynam­ics can be mod­eled with adap­tive con­tact net­works whose rewiring rules reflect the attempt by sus­cep­ti­bles to avoid infec­tious con­tacts. Sim­u­la­tions of this type of mod­els show an active phase with con­stant infected node den­sity in which the inter­play of dis­ease dynam­ics and link rewiring prompts the con­ver­gence towards a well defined degree dis­tri­b­u­tion, irre­spec­tive of the ini­tial net­work topol­ogy. We develop a method to study this dynamic equi­lib­rium and give an ana­lytic descrip­tion of the struc­ture of the char­ac­ter­is­tic degree dis­tri­b­u­tions and other net­work mea­sures. The method applies to a broad class of sys­tems and can be used to deter­mine the steady-​​state topol­ogy of many other adap­tive networks.”
