An empirical case composed of 16,354 pieces of forwarding information and two phases verifies the effectiveness of the proposed sentiment propagation dynamic model, due to the fitting optimization indicator MAPE equals 0.0942 % and 0.0066 % respectively. Further, we simulate the model and implement sensitivity analysis of the important parameters of the model. Combining the results of experiments, we find that enhancing the emotional consensus of recipients and inducers can decide the main sentiment in the system, and anti-emotional consensus can improve the existence of weak sentiments.

There has been a series of insightful findings and valuable applications for various scenarios through the analysis of network structures. However, in dynamic systems, slight changes in the choice of dynamic equations and parameters can alter the significance of motifs. The known methods are insufficient to address this issue effectively. In this paper, we introduce a concept of perturbation energy based on the system’s Jacobian matrix, and define motif centrality for dynamic systems by seamlessly integrating network topology with dynamic equations. Through simulations, we observe that the key motifs obtained by the proposed energy method present better effective and accurate than them by integrating network topology methods, without significantly increasing algorithm complexity. The finding of key motifs can be used to apply for system control, such as formulating containment policies for the spread of epidemics and protecting fragile ecosystems.

Linear theory suggests the existence of self-similar patterns in a Hele-Shaw flow. That is, with a specific injection flux the interface shape remains unchanged while its size increases.
