The authors study the contact process on the complete graph on \(n\) vertices where the rate at which the infection travels along the edge connecting vertices \(i\) and \(j\) is equal to \( \lambda w_i w_j / n\) for some \(\lambda >0\), where \(w_i\) are i.i.d. vertex weights. They show that when \(E[w_1^2] < \infty\) there is a phase transition at \(\lambda_c > 0\) so that for \(\lambda<\lambda_c\) the contact process dies out in logarithmic time, and for \(\lambda>\lambda_c\) the contact process lives for an exponential amount of time. The results are consistent with a non-rigorous mean-field analysis of the model. This is in contrast to some recent results for the contact process on power law random graphs where the mean-field calculations suggested that \(\lambda_c>0\) when in fact \(\lambda_c = 0\).
