46. It is very interesting that the effetc of β is not "monotonous". As shown in Fig. 4(a)(c), the process with β = 2.0 is the fastest, and more clearly can be found in Fig. 4(d), β has an "optimal" value subject to the fastest spreading at about 1.8. This complicated phenomenon has not been observed in the previous models and we will discuss it (with analytical solution on I (t)) in another paper
