Spreading processes, e. g. epidemics, wildfires and rumors, are often modeled on static networks.

In this paper we propose a method for sparse dynamic allocation of resources to bound the risk of spreading processes, such as epidemics and wildfires, using convex optimization and dynamic programming techniques.

Here, risk is considered the risk of an undetected outbreak, i. e. the product of the probability of an outbreak and the impact of that outbreak, and we can bound or minimize the risk by resource allocation and persistent monitoring schedules.

In this letter we propose a method for sparse allocation of resources to control spreading processes -- such as epidemics and wildfires -- using convex optimization, in particular exponential cone programming.
