“…In this section, we perform numerical simulations to investigate the epidemic spreading process on CAD networks. For simplicity, we consider five activity rates of the nodes, i.e., a ∈ 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 { } [24], and the activity rate distribution obeys F(a) ∝ a − 2 . Accordingly, the proportions of nodes with the activity rate 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9 are 0.344, 0.239, 0.176, 0.135, and 0.106, respectively.…”
