K-core percolation is widely utilized in the investigation of the robustness of systems subject to random or targeted attacks. However, the robustness of nodes usually correlates with their characteristics, such as degree, and exhibits heterogeneity while lacking a theoretical study on the K-core percolation on a hypergraph. To this end, we constructed a hyperedge K-core percolation model that introduces heterogeneity parameters to divide the active hyperedges into two parts, where hyperedges are inactive unless they have a certain number of active nodes. In the stage of pruning process, when the number of active nodes contained in a hyperedge is less than its set value, it will be pruned, which will result in the deletion of other hyperedges and ultimately trigger cascading failures. We studied the magnitude of the giant connected component and the percolation threshold of the model by mapping a random hypergraph to a factor graph. Subsequently, we conducted a large number of simulation experiments, and the theoretical values matched well with the simulated values. The heterogeneity parameters of the proposed model have a significant impact on the magnitude of the giant connected component and the type of phase transition in the network. We found that decreasing the value of heterogeneity parameters renders the network more fragile, while increasing the value of heterogeneity parameters makes it more resilient under random attacks. Meanwhile, as the heterogeneity parameter decreases to 0, it may cause a change in the nature of network phase transition, and the network shows a hybrid transition.</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":"143717801","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}

First, the well-posed nature of the model is analyzed, and then, we further investigated the local and global stability analysis along with bifurcation of co-dimensions 1 (transcritical, Hopf, saddle-node) and 2 (Bogdanov-Takens, generalized Hopf) for the system. Moreover, we incorporate a time-delayed model to investigate the effect of incubation delay on disease transmission. We provide a rigorous demonstration of the existence of chaos and establish the conditions that lead to chaotic dynamics and chaos control.

In practical engineering contexts, there are three key factors that must be considered significantly: (1) asynchronous hybrid event- and time-triggered control, where asynchrony affects event detection, event-triggered processes, and controller updates; (2) heterogeneous networks, wherein position and velocity information are governed by distinct, independent graphs; and (3) communication time delays arising from limited bandwidth and long-distance transmission. 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.
