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

Figure 3

(a) The final fractions and of the infected nodes and the noresource nodes as a function of epidemic transmission rate . The blue circle indicates and the red circle indicates . For both and , we present the results of numerical simulation and MMCA approach in full and open circles, respectively, which are in good agreement with each other. (b) The variability of and as a function of . We can determine the critical points of and by the peak of variability and obtain the outbreak threshold of epidemic spreading . The other fixed parameters are , , .
