Ranking of Nodal Infection Probability in Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible Epidemic

Abstract The prevalence, which is the average fraction of infected nodes, has been studied to evaluate the robustness of a network subject to the spread of epidemics. We explore the vulnerability (infection probability) of each node in the metastable state with a given effective infection rate τ. Sp...
