Multiple phase transitions of the susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemic model on complex networks

Abstract

The epidemic threshold of the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) dynamics on random networks having a power law degree distribution with exponent $\gamma >3$ has been investigated using different mean-field approaches, which predict different outcomes. We performed extensive simulations in the quasistationary state for a comparison with these mean-field theories. We observed concomitant multiple transitions in individual networks presenting large gaps in the degree distribution and the obtained multiple epidemic thresholds are well described by different mean-field theories. We observed that the transitions involving thresholds which vanishes at the thermodynamic limit involve localized states, in which a vanishing fraction of the network effectively contribute to epidemic activity, whereas an endemic state, with a finite density of infected vertices, occurs at a finite threshold. The multiple transitions are related to the activations of distinct sub-domains of the network, which are not directly connected.
