Spatial growth of the outbreak with time. (a) Total number of removed sites (total epidemic size) as a function of time in a log-log scale. (b) Same quantity as a function of the radius of gyration. The inset shows a closeup to appreciate the power-law fit. (c) Normalized spatial autocorrelation of the set of removed sites, \(\rho\) in Eq. (9), for \(p=0.05\). (d) Spatial autocorrelation in semi-log scale as a function of \(r/\mathcal {R}_\text {g}\). Again, using \(\mathcal {R}_\text {g}\) as scaling variable leads to an enveloping curve.
