Link cooperation effect of cooperative epidemics on complex networks

作者：

Highlights：

• Proposing a novel mathematical model is to study the effects of the link cooperation effect on two epidemics.

• The link cooperation effect promotes the epidemic outbreak size.

• For the cooperate epidemics on ER networks, the phase transition is discontinuous for a stronger link cooperation effect, otherwise the phase transition is continuous.

• The phase transition is always continuous on SF networks.
