Due to the independence of these heterogeneous networks, edge events related to position and velocity information are defined separately. When an event occurs on an edge, the connected agents sample the corresponding relative state information (position or velocity) and update their controllers accordingly.

In this context, the spread of rumors is influenced not only by the content of the information itself but also by the behavior of various actors over social networks. To model such a process, we propose a novel rumor propagation interaction model. This model, for the first time, combines a rumor-spreading model, characterizing the dual impact of media activities on rumor propagation, with a three-party evolutionary game model, exploring the interactions among netizens, media, and the government on social media platforms. To validate the model, we employ a physics-informed neural network to simulate real rumor-spread data from the U.S. Twitter platform. By integrating the estimated parameter set from the rumor-spreading model with the three-party evolutionary game model, we design a new tripartite evolutionary game matrix. This matrix effectively quantifies the government's regulatory efforts, the media's tendency to spread rumors, and the likelihood of netizens participating in rumor diffusion. The experimental results demonstrate that a higher probability of strict government control more effectively curbs the momentum of rumor spread, while a lower probability of media spreading rumors corresponds to an increase in the number of rumor debunkers. Reduced control costs lead to increased government intervention, less media-driven rumor propagation, and more frequent media refutations. In summary, this model demonstrates significant practical value for understanding rumor propagation dynamics.</p>","PeriodicalId":9974,"journal":{"name":"Chaos","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143630226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper expands on our earlier work by exploring explicit exponential integration methods as a more efficient alternative. We evaluate the potential of these explicit methods to handle stiff dynamics in neural ODEs, aiming to enhance their applicability to a broader range of scientific and engineering problems.

In this paper, we propose a coupled human-environment model with noisy disturbances that includes the dynamics of forest conservation opinions within a population and the natural expansion and harvesting of forest ecosystems. We investigate how stochasticity triggers critical transitions between high and low forest cover states (or a stable oscillatory state) using social and ecological fitting parameters from old-growth forests in Oregon. Based on landscape-flow theory from non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, we quantify the global stability and robustness of equilibria and limit cycles using barrier height and average flux. We find that the stability of the high forest cover state weakens, and the low forest cover state becomes increasingly stable as noise intensity increases. Conversely, an increase in the intensity of injunctive social norms favors the global stability of the high forest cover state. Moreover, only a sufficiently small forest protection cost will allow forest cover to be maintained at a high level.
