Coupled Dynamic Model of Resource Diffusion and Epidemic Spreading in Time-Varying Multiplex Networks

Figure 1

The sketch of coupled RNR-SIS model on an AD temporal two-layer network. The nodes indicate individuals in real society, and the edges depict dynamic contacts and social relationships of individuals in social networks. Individual resources diffuse on the upper layer (i.e., resource layer), leading to the node in a resourceful or noresource state. The spread of disease occurs on the lower layer (i.e., epidemic layer), leading to the node in a susceptible or infected state. The coupled dynamic process evolves from (a) times to (b), where node 2 is infected from its neighbors, node 4 recovers in the epidemic layer, and node 3 changes from the noresource to resourceful state in the resource layer.
