Research on coupled information-behavior-resource-epidemic model in multiplex network
In the emergency management of public health emergencies,epidemic transmis-sion and spread are often accompanied by information dissemination,behavior adoption and resource transmission.It is important to study the co-evolutionary transmission characteris-tics between information dissemination,behavior adoption,resource transmission and epidemic transmission and to explore their intrinsic transmission dynamics.In this paper,a four-level coupled information-behavior-resource-disease transmission model is developed to explore the in-fluence of information,behavior and resources on disease transmission.Unlike previous studies,this paper divides resources into information resources and medical resources,where information resources influence the information transmission process and medical resources influence the dis-ease transmission process.Then,this paper derives epidemic transmission thresholds through a micro-Markov approach.Secondly,this paper explores the role played by different influencing factors by conducting a large number of Monte Carlo simulations.The results show that both medical and information resources are important in increasing the epidemic outbreak threshold and reducing the scale of epidemic transmission,with the effect of medical resources being more obvious than that of information resources.
