We give an analysis of a variant of the contact process on finite graphs, allowing for non-uniform cure rates, modeling antidote distribution. We examine an inoculation scheme using PageRank vectors which quantify the correlations among vertices in the contact graph. We show that for a contact graph on n nodes we can select a set H of nodes to inoculate such that with probability at least 1−2 ,...
