We consider a version of the Watts threshold model on directed multiplex configuration model networks, and present a detailed analysis of the cascade size, single-seed cascade probability and cascade condition. We then introduce a smaller class of network models that we call "constrained multiplex networks", which is designed to represent networks with so-called "functional" or "complementary" structure. We find that the particular choice of functional structure affects the phase transitions of the cascade model in a variety of ways.
