Efficient immunization strategies on complex networks.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient immunization-"high-risk immunization". The standard SIRS model was modified, respectively, on WS small-world network and BA scale-free network. Based on our new SIRS model, the density of infected individuals was analyzed from a theoretical point of view, and computer simulation was implemented on different networks. The results indicate that the high-risk immunization is effective, and it is economic and feasible in practice. Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
