Conventional theoretical models often neglect the memory effect of human mobility and the dynamic evolution of social interactions. To address this problem, we introduce a novel theoretical framework for modeling spatiotemporal contagion dynamics. We first develop a temporal multilayer network that integrates the spatial structure of populations with a non-instantaneous travel process, where infections occur both within layers and during transit, facilitated by time-varying social interactions modeled via activity-driven networks. Second, we formulate the non-Markovian dynamics using quenched mean-field theory and derive an analytical epidemic threshold based on the Next Generation Matrix approach, demonstrating that the onset and progression of epidemics are governed by travel strength (proportion of travelers and hopping rate), interaction density, and travel duration. Third, through extensive experiments and analysis, we find that, compared to Markovian dynamics and analytical SIR-type solutions, non-Markovian dynamics introduce memory-driven delays in the redistribution of effective population size across structural components, capturing realistic multi-wave infection patterns more accurately. Dense travel interactions predominantly drive spatiotemporal contagion dynamics. In highly connected travel environments, stronger travel strength consistently accelerates epidemic spread. In contrast, the impact of travel duration is more complex and depends on transmission rate, reflecting the interplay of infection and recovery during transit. This study offers critical theoretical insights for designing public health interventions, such as travel restrictions and quarantine measures, to mitigate pandemic risks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"522 ","pages":"Article 129993"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146134770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tensor decomposition is an effective solution that leverages the multi-way structure of MoCap data. This paper proposes two gap-filling algorithms based on Tucker decomposition, namely Tucker and TuckerTNN. Given the high-dimensional nature of MoCap data, traditional smoothness regularization methods, such as gradient-based techniques, are computationally expensive. Therefore, we introduce the temporal nuclear norm in TuckerTNN as an alternative regularization technique, providing a more efficient solution for large-scale datasets. Both models are minimized using the proximal block coordinate descent (Prox-BCD) method. We evaluated the proposed algorithms using motion capture sequences from the publicly available HDM05 dataset.
