摘要
We study the effect of networks interconnection on the epidemic cost of them. When an epidemic will eventually die out, we find that the total cost of the epidemic over the interconnected network is approximate to the sum of the total epidemic cost of the two sub-networks. We also prove that the interconnection behavior can reduce epidemic threshold. Thus network interconnecting makes an epidemic more easily to occur, while keeping the total cost of the epidemic almost unchanged.
