Abstract: Network structure plays an important role in epidemic spreading process. In this paper, we propose a susceptible–alert–infected–susceptible epidemic spreading model based on coupled activity-driven networks. The critical conditions for epidemic outbreaks are analyzed based on the proposed model. The explicit expressions of the critical conditions are obtained, which are determined by the multi-layer activity-driven network structure associated with propagation parameters. We also analyze the influence of network structure and propagation parameters on the epidemic outbreak critical condition, which may shed some lights on the control of the epidemic spreading in future. The correctness of the theoretical results is corroborated by Monte Carlo simulations.
