Epidemic spreading on an adaptive spatial scale-free network

The dynamics of epidemic spreading on adaptive networks has attracted great attention. Here we consider a generalized scenario, where the spatial distance is introduced into the study of adaptive networks. Meanwhile, the artificial self-avoid behavior for the susceptible individuals encountering with infectious individuals is optimized by the game strategies to mimic the public behavior more authentically. The distribution of spatial distance and the evolution of the disease prevalence have been investigated. We also report the comparison of the effects of spatial constraints on the network structure and the disease spreading process between the adaptive network and the non-adaptive network.
