| Abstract | |
Models of the spread of epidemics, rumors, and synchronization are crucial for a better understanding of dynamic processes. Most models developed for complex networks only consider static structures where connections remain constant over time. Addressing this limitation, epidemic propagation models in temporal networks have been proposed in recent years. In these networks, connections are dynamic, changing during the spread of the infectious agent. This work focuses on such models, studying dynamic processes in mobile agent networks, specifically in epidemic modeling using the SIS and SIR models, as well as in rumor propagation. Additionally, we investigate multiplex networks comprising two layers: one representing the mobile agent network and the other a static network with different configurations: (i) Barabási-Albert networks and (ii) Watts-Strogatz networks. Our main findings indicate that the presence of a rough surface leads to a decrease in the propagation of dynamic processes. This reduction is attributed to the roughness creating isolation bubbles in the case of epidemic processes, thereby reducing the contact network formed at each time step. (AU) | |
