In this paper, motivated by previous research works on the evolution of the network topology, i.e., the combination of preferential attachment and temporal effect (aging of vertices), we propose a novel model which combines the mixed attachment mechanisms (preferential attachment and uniform...

We study the dynamical behavior of the epidemiological model with pathogen mutation on small-world networks, and discuss the influence of the immunity duration τR, the cross-immunity threshold hthr, and system size N on epidemic dynamics. A decaying oscillation occurs because of the interplay...

In this paper, motivated by the thoughts and methods of the mixture of preferential and uniform attachments, we extend the Barabási–Albert (BA) model, and establish a network model with the power-law accelerating growth and the mixture of the two attachment mechanisms. In our model, the...

The dynamics of the blackmail propagation model based on small-world networks is investigated. It is found that for a given transmitting probability λ the dynamical behavior of blackmail propagation transits from linear growth type to logistical growth one with the network randomness p...
