Wartime rumor diffusion model based on complex network

Abstract

The psychological mechanism and intervening strategies of rumor propagation are analyzed firstly. Using mean field approximation, we give a new model in which rumor attribute is considered. By introducing strictly first order stochastic dominance and strictly second order stochastic dominance, we analyze the relationships among rumor attribute, intervening intensity, network structure and diffusion effect. Then we derive and proof two propositions that are useful to explore wartime rumor propagation. Finally, some propositions are verified by computer simulation.
