Abstract:

To address insufficient timeliness and incomplete coverage in current early-warning information propagation, a dynamical model incorporating forced intervention mechanisms is developed based on dynamical systems theory, using early-warning information dissemination as a case study. This model introduces quantitative classification of warning levels, illuminating the coupling mechanisms between spontaneous diffusion and forced intervention. Numerical simulations are conducted to analyze the impact of key parameters such as the number of initial disseminators and the basic reproduction number on dissemination effectiveness. Model analysis indicates that the basic reproduction number serves as the criterion for information diffusion. Low-level early-warnings have a limited dissemination scale, while high-level early-warnings can achieve full coverage through forced intervention. Simulation results show that an eightfold increase in the annihilation rate can shorten the dissemination timeliness by 40%. The basic reproduction number is inversely proportional to dissemination timeliness.

Key words: early-warning information dissemination, dissemination dynamics, basic reproduction number, forced intervention, simulation
