Figure 3
Concentration of spreaders,〈y〉, as a function of α for the SIS process in an Erdös-Rényi network of〈k〉=6 when β = −0.5.
The dashed curves indicate the solution obtained by solving the Markovian evolution equations whereas the solid amber circles correspond to the results obtained by using MC simulations (103 realizations for each value of α). The hysteresis effect points out the existence of a bi-stability region. The solid curve shows the fraction 
of ralizations (in the MC simulations) that end up in the fully ignorant solution, 
. The recovery rate is 
.
