Abstract:
In this thesis, first we will have a thorough review on problems and models presented in the field of contagion in networks (spread of diseases, spread of computer viruses,etc.). Then we will investigate the basic model of virus inoculation game with purely selfish players and the modified version of it which takes into account a factor of friendship. We will discuss the results of these models including computing and comparing Nash Equilibria
