Multiplex community networks, consisting of several different types of simplex networks and interconnected among them, are ubiquitous in the real world. In this paper, we carry out a quantitative discussion on the interaction among these diverse simplex networks. First, we define two measures, mutual-path-strength and proximity-node-density, based on twoplex community networks and then propose an impact-strength-index (ISI) to describe the influence of a simplex network on the other one. Finally, we apply the measure ISI to make an explanation for the challenge system of social relations from the viewpoint of network theory. Numerical simulations show that the measure ISI can describe the interaction between multiplex community networks perfectly.
多元社区网络由几种不同类型的单型网络组成，并相互连接，在现实世界中无处不在。在本文中，我们对这些不同的单型网络之间的相互作用进行了定量讨论。首先，我们基于双元社区网络定义了两个度量标准，即互路径强度和临近节点密度，然后提出了一个影响强度指数（ISI）来描述一个单型网络对另一个网络的影响。最后，我们应用该度量标准 ISI 从网络理论的角度解释了社会关系的挑战系统。数值模拟表明，该度量标准 ISI 可以很好地描述多元社区网络之间的相互作用。
