Effects of asymptomatic infection and self-initiated awareness on the coupled disease-awareness dynamics in multiplex networks

作者：

Highlights：

• A coupled disease-awareness model incorporating the asymptomatic state and the self-initiated awareness mechanism is proposed within the multiplex network framework.

• The microscopic Markov chain approach is developed to study the effects of the asymptomatic state and the self-initiated awareness mechanism on the dynamics of awareness and epidemic.

• The critical thresholds of two kinds of disease-awareness models are analytically derived.
