Time varying simulation results of the ideal network scenario and the proposed dual network topology.

<p>The infected population plot as a function of time for (a) and (b) a network overlap of , where , , , . Contact tracing is always beneficial, even when there is a small overlap between and . We observe that contact tracing becomes increasingly effective as the number of infections increases in both network topologies (a) and (b). However, contact tracing becomes decreasingly effective as the number of infections decreases, particularly in the dual network topology case. This can be seen by the worsened effects of the second and sometimes third peaks for the dual network case (e.g., with ).
