A New Coupled Awareness-Epidemic Spreading Model with Neighbor Behavior on Multiplex Networks by Chao Zuo, Anjing Wang, Fenping Zhu, Zeyang Meng, Xueke Zhao

“…We achieve this topology scenario by two kinds of factors, one is the perception factor that can change interplay between different layers of networks and the other is the neighbors’ behavior status that can change the infection rate in each layer. According to the microscopic Markov chain approach (MMCA), we analyze the dynamical evolution of the system and derive the theoretical epidemic threshold on uncorrelated heterogeneous networks, and then, we validate the analysis by numerical simulation and discuss the final size of awareness diffusion and epidemic spreading on a scale-free network. …”
