Coevolution spreading in complex networks
The propagations of diseases, behaviors and information in real systems are rarely
independent of each other, but they are coevolving with strong interactions. To uncover the …

Multi-competitive viruses over time-varying networks with mutations and human awareness
In this paper, we introduce a model for multiple competing viruses over networks, derived
using each state variable of the model as the infection percentage of a group or a …
