Trapping on modular scale-free and small-world networks with multiple hubs

In this paper we introduce a new kind of scale-free and small-world networks with multiple hubs based on classic networks and present the trapping problem on them. We show that in the multiple-hub networks, the growth of MFPT with the traps located on the hub or peripheral nodes displays quite a difference from the single-hub networks. Our conclusions are directed to possible applications in rumor or epidemic spreading phenomena.
