An Epidemic Threshold Set for Networks

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate a discrete-time SIS epidemic model and the epidemic thresholds on complex networks. We focus on proposing a community-level epidemic threshold set and establishing a comparative result between the local epidemic thresholds and the global epidemic threshold. To verify our theoretical findings and structural properties, we conduct numerical experiments on one synthetic network (Network1) and one real-world network (the Haslemere contact network). Our numerical simulations, along with the computation and statistical ranking of the epidemic threshold sets, align accurately with our theoretical results.
