Effects of Resource Limitations and Cost Influences on Computer Virus Epidemic Dynamics and Tipping Points

Figure 6

Simulation results for Scale-free network #3. (a) Effects of different statistical distribution types for agent resources on the density curves and epidemic tipping points of computer viruses spread within scale-free networks. (b) Uniform (𝑛=5, 𝑟=2) and normal (standard deviation = 2) distributions of agent resources with an average ⟨𝑟⟩ value of 16. (c) Power-law distribution (degree = 3) of agent resources.
