Abstract

Mathematical modeling is essential for understanding spreading processes in complex networks. While much research has focused on static networks, the importance of temporal networks is becoming increasingly recognized. In this project, we aim to develop a novel approach to modeling temporal networks using mobile agents and a movement structure that allows for the creation of dynamic clusters. Our primary research questions include: How do dynamic processes in temporal networks affect the spread of information or disease? How do these processes interact with multilayer networks, and what are the implications for real-world phenomena? By addressing these questions, we hope to advance our understanding of complex systems and provide insights for optimizing interventions in various domains, such as public health and social media.
