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

Figure 7

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=3) and normal (standard deviation = 3) distributions of individual resources with an average ⟨𝑟⟩ value of 16. (c) Power-law distribution (degree = 3) of agent resources.
