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

Figure 6

The final fractions and of the infected nodes and the noresource nodes as a function of activity potential and the contact capacity . The symbols are the same as those in Figure 3. The upper panel presents that and changes with (a) and (b) in the resource layer, which shows that stronger activity heterogeneity and larger contact capacity of individuals in the resource layer can effectively promote resource diffusion but suppress epidemic spreading. The lower panel presents that and changes with (a) and (b) in the epidemic layer, which suggests that these two characters of individuals in the epidemic layer cause more resource depletion and thus promote epidemic spreading. The other fixed parameters are  = 0.10,  = 0.64,  = 0.70,  = 0.48, and  = 5 for (a), (c), and (d);  = 5 for (a), (b), and (c);  = 2.5 for (b), (c), and (d); and  = 2.5 for (a), (b), and (d).
