The epidemic spreading on the multi-relationships network

Different from traditional multi-community, the paper proposes a new multi-relationship network which is constructed to assess the effect of interlaced complex interpersonal relationships on the epidemic spreading process. Besides, an innovative MR-SIS epidemic model is proposed and analyzed in this paper. Empirically, we simulate MR-SIS spreading process on a multi-relationship network. The experiment results show that immunizing the nodes in overlapping sub-networks inhibits the epidemic spreading. Moreover, when considering the multi-relationship network structure and the above conclusion, this paper proposes a novel immunization to overcome the limitations of traditional immunization strategy, which has been proven a satisfying desirable performance on controlling disease transmission.
