– The purpose of this paper is to present a new immunization strategy for effectively solving the control of the spread of the virus.
– Inspired by the idea of network partition, taking two optimization targets which are the scale of sub-network and the sum of the strengths of the sub-network's nodes into account at the same time, a new immunization strategy based on greedy algorithm in the scale-free network is presented. After specifying the number of nodes through the immunization, the network is divided into the scale of sub-network and the sum of the strength of the sub-network's nodes as small as possible.
– The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has the better performance than targeted immunization which is supposed to be highly efficient at present.
– This paper proposes a new immunization strategy based on greedy algorithm in the scale-free network for effectively solving the control of the spread of the virus.
