Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of information-epidemic coupling dynamics, and more particularly to a method for analyzing the coupling evolution of information-epidemic under multi-source heterogeneous social influences. Background Technology

[0002] The large-scale spread of sudden epidemics is often accompanied by the dissemination of epidemic-related information on social networks. In the absence of effective treatments and with limited medical resources, people can rely on the information they receive to guide their behavioral responses, such as wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and getting vaccinated, to reduce the risk of infection. Therefore, a better understanding of the information-epidemic coupling evolution is crucial for formulating epidemic-related policies. In the field of information-epidemic coupling evolution dynamics, information diffusion is generally considered similar to epidemic transmission, and the classic unconscious U-conscious A-unconscious U-susceptible S-infected I-susceptible S model is used to theoretically analyze the dynamic process of information-epidemic coupling evolution. However, in real life, information diffusion is often more complex than epidemic transmission. On the one hand, if people are only informed of epidemic-related information by a few friends on social networks, they may not accept it. But when more friends tell them this information, the individual's herd mentality may prompt them to accept the information, i.e., social reinforcement. On the other hand, when people observe that neighbors in their contact network have infection symptoms, their sensitivity may prompt them to become aware of the epidemic, i.e., risk perception. In summary, the social reinforcement caused by local information diffusion in social networks and the risk perception induced by contacting neighbors in contact networks are the main social influences that drive people to acquire information.

[0003] However, existing technologies and modeling methods mostly focus on only one type of social influence, namely social reinforcement or risk perception, while neglecting the multi-source and heterogeneous characteristics of social influences. This leads to insufficient understanding of the dynamics of information-epidemic coupling evolution under multi-source and heterogeneous social influences, especially when the interactions between individuals evolve dynamically over time. Based on the above analysis, analyzing the impact of the multi-source and heterogeneous nature of social influences on the information-epidemic coupling evolution process through mathematical modeling theory within an activity-driven multi-layered temporal network framework is of great significance and can provide theoretical guidance for formulating effective interventions to suppress the spread of epidemics. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technologies, this invention provides a method for analyzing the coupled evolution of information and epidemics under multi-source heterogeneous social influences. Theoretically, it analyzes the impact of the multi-source and heterogeneous nature of social influences on the coupled evolution of information and epidemics within an activity-driven multi-layered temporal network framework, providing theoretical guidance for formulating epidemic-related policies.

[0005] The method of this invention first constructs an unconscious U-conscious A-unconscious U-susceptible S-infectious I-susceptible S model under multi-source heterogeneous social influences; then, based on the micro-Markov chain method, it theoretically derives the epidemic threshold β of the unconscious U-conscious A-unconscious U-susceptible S-infectious I-susceptible S model under different scenarios. c Finally, within a multi-layered temporal network framework, the information-epidemic coupled evolution process under multi-source heterogeneous social influences is implemented.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A novel method for analyzing the coupled evolution of information and epidemics under multi-source heterogeneous social influences is proposed. This method is applied to the field of activity-driven multi-layer temporal networks and the coupled dynamics of information and epidemics. The operational steps are as follows:

[0008] Step S1: Construct a model of unconscious U-conscious A-unconscious U-susceptible S-infected I-susceptible S under multi-source heterogeneous social influence;

[0009] Step S2: Based on the micro-Markov chain method, theoretically derive the epidemic threshold β under different scenarios for the unconscious U-conscious A-unconscious U-susceptible S-infected I-susceptible S model. c ;

[0010] Step S3: Under the framework of a multi-layered temporal network, implement the information-epidemic coupled evolution process under the influence of multi-source heterogeneous social factors.

[0011] Further, step S1 specifically includes the following steps:

[0012] Step S1.1: Activity-Driven Multilayer Temporal Network Evolution Rule: Considering the dynamic interactions between individuals in real life, an activity-driven multilayer temporal network evolution model is constructed, where the top layer represents the information network G. V The bottom layer represents the physical contact network G. P ; Assign each node i to the physical contact network G P Activity level a i and information network G V Activity level b i The network consists of i = 1, 2, ..., N, where N is the network size, and each network follows a power-law distribution F(a) = a^n with an exponent of γ. -γ and F(b)=b -γ γ is used to adjust the heterogeneity of the network; the specific steps are as follows:

[0013] 1) At each Δt time, the instantaneous network G of the physical contact layer P In (t), node i has an activity level a i It is activated and becomes an active node, and m is randomly selected.P Establish connections between nodes;

[0014] 2) At each Δt time, the instantaneous network G of the information layer V In (t), node i has an activity level of b. i It is activated and becomes an active node, and m is randomly selected. V Establish connections between nodes;

[0015] 3) At the next time t+Δt, delete all connections in the instantaneous network of the information and physical contact layer;

[0016] 4) Repeat steps 1)-3) until the propagation in the information and physical layers reaches a steady state;

[0017] Step S1.2: Considering the multi-source and heterogeneous nature of social influences, two mechanisms of consciousness generation induced by social influences were analyzed, namely social reinforcement and risk perception, as detailed below:

[0018] Social reinforcement: In the information layer, based on the phenomenon that individuals need notifications from multiple conscious neighbors before accepting information, a threshold model is used to describe social reinforcement. Specifically, an individual's herd mentality will only prompt them to accept epidemic-related information when the proportion of conscious neighbors reaches their awareness threshold θ. Furthermore, considering the differences in individual awareness thresholds, an individual awareness threshold θ is proposed. i b, the activity level of an individual in the information layer i The three relevant mechanisms, including stochastic correlation, linear negative correlation, and linear positive correlation, are as follows:

[0019] Case 1: Consciousness threshold θ i Independent of individual activity level in the information layer i The formula is as follows:

[0020] θ i =random[0,1],i=1,2,...N. (1)

[0021] It is worth noting that individuals with the same level of activity may have different consciousness thresholds; where i represents any individual and N represents the population size.

[0022] Case 2: Consciousness threshold θ i The activity level of individual i in the information layer b i They are negatively correlated, as shown in the following formula:

[0023]

[0024] Here, b max b represents the maximum activity level of all individuals in the information layer. minThis represents the minimum activity level of all individuals within the information layer;

[0025] Case 3: Consciousness threshold θ i The activity level of individual i in the information layer b i They are positively correlated, as shown in the following formula:

[0026]

[0027] Risk perception: In real life, when an unconscious individual observes that a neighbor in their physical contact layer shows symptoms of infection, the individual's sensitivity λ... i This can induce them to become aware of the epidemic and spread information; it is important to note that, unlike the social reinforcement effect, even if only one neighbor is infected, unconscious individuals may still become aware of the epidemic through risk perception.

[0028] Step S1.3: In the information layer, if individual i is aware of the epidemic, then individual i is in a conscious state A; otherwise, individual i is in an unconscious state U. In the physical contact layer, if individual i is infected, then individual i is in an infected state I; otherwise, individual i is in a susceptible state S. Considering the coupled evolution of information and the epidemic, individual i may be in the following four states: unconscious susceptible state US, conscious susceptible state AS, unconscious infected state UI, and conscious infected state AI.

[0029] Step S1.4: In the information layer, the information diffusion process is defined as follows: On the one hand, unconscious individual i becomes conscious A through the following three situations: (1) When the proportion of conscious neighbors reaches the consciousness threshold θ of individual i. i (a) When a neighbor in the physical contact layer shows symptoms of infection, the individual, with sensitivity λ i (c) When an unconscious individual i is infected, the individual becomes aware of the epidemic at a self-conscious rate κ; without loss of generality, it is assumed that all individuals have the same sensitivity, i.e. On the other hand, a conscious individual A i becomes an unconscious individual U with a forgetting rate δ.

[0030] Step S1.5: In the physical contact layer, the epidemic transmission process is defined as follows: Susceptible individual S i is infected by contact with infected individual I at an infection rate β, and infected individual I i becomes susceptible S at a recovery rate μ; In particular, when susceptible individual S i is in a conscious state A in the information layer, individual i will take behavioral responses to reduce the infection rate of the epidemic through a decay factor α.

[0031] Furthermore, step S2 specifically involves the following steps:

[0032] Step S2.1: At time t, the probabilities of node i being in the unconscious susceptible state US, the conscious susceptible state AS, the unconscious infected state UI, and the conscious infected state AI are respectively represented by... and To indicate;

[0033] Step S2.2: The probability r of unconscious individual i maintaining state U in the information layer i (t), the formula is as follows:

[0034]

[0035] In formula (4), the first term represents the probability that an unconscious individual i remains unconscious because it is not persuaded by a conscious neighbor in the information layer; the second term represents the probability that an unconscious individual i remains unconscious because it is not induced by the infection symptoms of a neighbor in the physical contact layer; considering that individuals have different preferences for information obtained from different social influences, Q is defined to represent the weight of social reinforcement; correspondingly, 1-Q represents the weight of risk perception; H(x) represents the step function, where H(x) = 1 when x > 0, and H(x) = 0 otherwise; where i represents any individual, j represents any individual other than i, and θ i b represents the consciousness threshold of individual i. i b represents the activity level of individual i in the information layer. j This indicates the activity level of individual j in the information layer. F(b) represents the probability that individual j is in the conscious state A at time t. j ) indicates that individual j has an activity level of b in the information layer. j The probability, λ represents the individual's sensitivity, m p a represents the number of edges sent by active nodes in the physical contact layer. i a represents the activity level of individual i in the physical contact layer. j This indicates the activity level of individual j in the physical contact layer. Let represent the probability that individual j is in infected state I at time t.

[0036] Step S2.3: The probabilities of unconscious state U and conscious state A individual i in the information layer maintaining susceptible state S in the physical contact layer are respectively... and The formula is as follows:

[0037]

[0038]

[0039] Wherein, formula (5) represents the contact m between an active / inactive unconsciously susceptible US individual i and an active / inactive individual i. PThe probability of an inactive / active infected individual I j not being infected; Formula (6) represents the probability that a conscious susceptible individual AS i in the information layer takes a behavioral response in the physical contact layer to reduce the infection rate β of the epidemic by the attenuation factor α and not be infected.

[0040] Step S2.4: Based on the micro-Markov chain method and combined with formulas (4)-(6), we can obtain... The dynamic evolution equation:

[0041]

[0042] Among them, normalization conditions Applicable to all time steps; taking the first equation in formula (7) as an example, the first term represents the probability r of an unconscious susceptible US individual i at time t. i (t) Maintain unconscious state U while with probability The probability of maintaining the susceptible state S; the second term represents the probability r of unintentionally infected individual i at time t. i (t) The probability of remaining in an unconscious state U while simultaneously transitioning to a susceptible state S with a recovery rate μ; the third term represents the probability at time t that an individual i in a conscious susceptible state AS transitions to an unconscious state U with a forgetting rate δ and simultaneously transitions to a susceptible state S with a recovery rate μ. The probability of remaining in the susceptible state S; the fourth term represents the probability at time t that a consciously infected AI individual i changes to an unconscious state U with a forgetting rate δ and simultaneously changes to the susceptible state S with a recovery rate μ.

[0043] Step S2.5: Based on equation set (7), the critical threshold β for epidemic transmission can be theoretically derived. c for:

[0044]

[0045] From formula (8), we can see the epidemic threshold β c It depends on the recovery rate μ, the individual's behavioral response intensity α, and the network topology of the physical contact layer, i.e., the first moment of activity. and second moment 2 >, and the number of edges m p And conscious individuals ρ in steady state A The proportion;

[0046] Step S2.6: According to formula (4), it is found that the weight Q of social reinforcement affects the conscious individual ρ at homeostasis. A The proportion is an important factor; therefore, further analysis is needed to determine the critical threshold β of multi-source social influence on epidemic transmission under the following three scenarios. c The impact;

[0047] Case 1: Individuals are fully aware of the epidemic through risk perception, i.e., Q=0, and the critical threshold β for epidemic transmission. c for:

[0048]

[0049] As can be seen from formula (9), the epidemic threshold β c Depending on the recovery rate μ, the network topology of the physical contact layer, i.e., the first moment of activity.​ and second moment 2 >, and the number of edges m p ;

[0050] Case 2: Individuals become aware of an epidemic entirely through social reinforcement, i.e., Q=1, and the critical threshold β for epidemic transmission under the condition of a homogeneous awareness threshold θ. c for:

[0051]

[0052] As can be seen from formula (10), unlike formula (9), the critical threshold β for epidemic transmission... c It also depends on the information forgetting rate δ and the critical point θ0 of the consciousness threshold; when approaching the critical point θ0 of the consciousness threshold, the epidemic threshold β... c The occurrence of mutations indicates that the impact of information diffusion on the epidemic threshold has a two-stage characteristic;

[0053] Case 3: Individuals simultaneously become aware of an epidemic through social reinforcement and risk perception, i.e., Q∈(0,1). What is the critical threshold β for epidemic transmission under the condition of a homogeneous awareness threshold θ? c for:

[0054]

[0055] As can be seen from formula (11), unlike formula (10), the critical threshold β for epidemic transmission... c It also depends on the weight Q of social reinforcement.

[0056] Furthermore, step S3 specifically involves the following steps:

[0057] Step S3.1: Set the parameters for the unconscious U-conscious A-unconscious U-susceptible S-infectious I-susceptible S model under multi-source heterogeneous social influence and the activity-driven multi-layer temporal network model, including the network size N and the number of edges m of active nodes in the information layer and physical contact layer. V and m P The activity level of node i in the physical contact layer and the information layer, a i and b i The time interval Δt, the epidemic infection rate β, the epidemic recovery rate μ, the information forgetting rate δ, the awareness threshold θ, the sensitivity factor λ, the weight of social reinforcement Q, the behavioral response intensity α, the self-awareness rate κ, the total number of simulations and the maximum time step T;

[0058] Step S3.2: Randomly initialize a certain proportion of infected state I0 and conscious state A0 as seed nodes;

[0059] ​Step S3.3: At each Δt time, according to the activity-driven multilayer temporal network evolution rule in step S1.1 of claim 2, generate an activity-driven multilayer temporal network evolution model;

[0060] Step S3.4: At each Δt time, for the information diffusion process, according to step S1.4 in claim 2, node i in the information layer updates whether it is in a conscious state based on the consciousness state of its neighbors in the information layer, the infection state of its neighbors in the physical contact layer, and the infection state of node i in the physical contact layer.

[0061] Step S3.5: At each Δt time, for the epidemic transmission process, according to step S1.5 in claim 2, node i in the physical contact layer updates whether it is infected based on the consciousness state of its corresponding node in the information layer;

[0062] Step S3.6: The propagation process lasts for Δt time;

[0063] Step S3.7: Repeat steps S3.3-S3.6 until the spread of the epidemic and the diffusion of information reach a steady state;

[0064] Step S3.8: Statistically determine the conscious state ρ at steady state. A and infected state p I The proportion of nodes;

[0065] Step S3.9: Repeat steps S3.2-S3.8 above until the total number of simulations is reached;

[0066] Step S3.10: When counting the total number of simulations, the conscious state ρ A and infected state p I The average proportion of nodes indicates the end of the information-epidemic coupling evolution process.

[0067] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following obvious and prominent substantive features and significant advantages:

[0068] 1. This invention constructs a mathematical model based on multi-source heterogeneous social influences: Unconscious U - Conscious A - Unconscious U - Susceptible S - Infected I - Susceptible S. This model considers public acceptance preferences for multi-source social influences and describes the differences in multi-source social influences among different individuals. It provides a critical threshold β for analyzing the spread of epidemics under multi-source heterogeneous social influences. c This provides theoretical support for the coupled evolution of information and epidemics;

[0069] 2. This invention effectively verifies the accuracy of the theoretically predicted epidemic threshold through simulation experiments, and systematically studies the single or combined effects of social reinforcement and risk perception, which can provide a reference for accurately describing the coupled evolution process of information-epidemic in real life.
