Abstract

We introduce a mathematical framework for identification of network topology, based on data collected from infectious SIS process occurring on a network. An exact expression for the weight of each network link (existing or not) as a function of infectious statistics, is obtained. An algorithm for proper implementation of the analyzed concept is suggested and the validity of the obtained result is confirmed by numerical simulations performed on a number of synthetic (computer generated) networks.
