Normalized epidemic threshold Inline graphic as a function of relative alerting rate Inline graphic, showing three dependency scenarios. All three alert layers have the same spectral radius with respect to Inline graphic i.e., Inline graphic. Therefore, in all of them the threshold value Inline graphic starts from Inline graphic and converges to Inline graphic. Graph Inline graphic is synthesized such that Inline graphic. From the red curve we can observe that Inline graphic decreases for small Inline graphic values after which it increases. Graph Inline graphic is synthesized such that Inline graphic. In this case the blue curve Inline graphic is maximal around Inline graphic. The topology of graph Inline graphic is Inline graphic with reduced weights and is represented by the black epidemic threshold curve which increases monotonically by Inline graphic.
