Abstract

In this paper we study a repeated game and the replicator dynamics to analyze the spread of a rumor in a society formed by two populations. One population is informed about a rumor and communicates the rumor to the other population. According to the preferences of each individual, this rumor is communicated in its original or in a modified form. We analyze the stability of dynamic equilibria. We conclude that there are three possibilities for the spread of a rumor. The rumor may end up being disseminated in its original version or being distorted by the diffusers throughout the society, or a part of the population remains in the long term spreading the rumor in its original form and another in a distorted way.

谣言的传播:复制因子动力学的博弈论方法

本文研究了一个重复博弈和复制因子动力学来分析一个谣言在由两个群体组成的社会中的传播。一个群体被告知谣言，并将谣言传播给另一个群体。根据每个人的偏好，这种谣言以其原始形式或修改形式传播。我们分析了动态平衡的稳定性。我们得出结论，谣言的传播有三种可能。谣言最终可能会在整个社会中以原来的形式传播，或者被传播者歪曲，或者一部分人长期以原来的形式传播谣言，另一部分人以歪曲的方式传播谣言。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
