We define the spreading time in the SIS process as the average time between the start of the outbreak and the time that the number of infected nodes first reaches the average number of infected nodes in the metastable state. We show that the spreading time can be computed using a

We introduce an extension of the SIS epidemic model that describes infection, mutation and curing for a whole hierarchy of viruses, resembling a nested spreading process. In our model, high level viruses are only allowed to spread to nodes that have acquired a lower level of infe

Mean-field approximations (MFAs) are frequently used in physics. When a process (such as an epidemic or a synchronization) on a network is approximated by MFA, a major hurdle is the determination of those graphs for which MFA is reasonably accurate. Here, we present an accuracy c
