Epidemic Spreading

Epidemic Spreading is a dynamic process in network theory whereby a contagion—such as a disease, information, or behavior—propagates across nodes of a network through direct or indirect interactions, distinguished from other diffusion processes by its threshold-driven, nonlinear growth and potential for widespread reach predicated on the network’s structural properties.
