\begin{itemize}

\item At $t=0$, each node is {\color{blue} infected} with probability $p_{\text{init}}$ and {\bf susceptible} with probability $1-p_{\text{init}}$

\item Each {\color{blue} infected} node $i$ has a ``one-shot'' probability $p_{i,j}$ of infecting each of its susceptible neighbors $j$ at $t+1$.

\item A node stays {\color{blue}  infected} for one round, then it {\color{red} dies}

\item Process continues until random time $T$ when no more {\bf susceptible} nodes are left
\end{itemize}

% Adapting a result from \cite{Negahban:2009}, we have the following theorem:

% For node $i$, assume
% \begin{itemize}
% \item the Hessian verifies the $(S,\gamma)$-RE condition where $S$ is the set of parents of node $i$ (support of $\theta_i$)
% \item $f$ and $1-f$ are log-concave
% \item $|(\log f)'| < \frac{1}{\alpha}$ and $|(\log 1- f)'| < \frac{1}{\alpha}$

% \begin{corollary}
% By thresholding $\hat \theta_i$, if $n > C' s \log m$, we recover the support of $\theta^*$ and therefore the edges of ${\cal G}$
