With the rapid development of social network in recent years, the threshold of information dissemination has become lower. Most of the time, rumors, as a special kind of information, are harmful to society. And once the rumor appears, the truth will follow. Considering that the rumor and truth compete with each other like light and darkness in reality, in this paper, we study a rumor spreading model in the homogeneous network called 2SIH2R, in which there are both spreader1 (people who spread the rumor) and spreader2 (people who spread the truth). In this model, we introduced discernible mechanism and confrontation mechanism to quantify the level of people's cognitive abilities and the competition between the rumor and truth. By mean-field equations, steady-state analysis, and numerical simulations in a generated network which is closed and homogeneous, some significant results can be given: the higher the discernible rate of the rumor, the smaller the influence of the rumor; the stronger the confrontation degree of the rumor, the smaller the influence of the rumor; the larger the average degree of the network, the greater the influence of the rumor but the shorter the duration. The model and simulation results provide a quantitative reference for revealing and controlling the spread of the rumor.

Abstract According to the actual situation of investor network, a SE2IR rumor spreading model with hesitating mechanism is proposed, and the corresponding mean-field equations is obtained on scale-free network. In this paper, we first combine the theory of spreading dynamics and find out the basic reproductive number R0. And then analyzes the stability of the rumor-free equilibrium and the final rumor size. Finally, we discuss random immune strategies and target immune strategies for the rumor spreading, respectively. Through numerical simulation, we can draw the following conclusions: Reducing the fuzziness and attractiveness of invest market rumor can effectively reduce the impact of rumor. And the target immunization strategy is more effective than the random immunization strategy for the communicators in the invest investor network.

The spread of rumors has caused serious social and economic problems, especially during emergencies. Reducing the harm caused by rumors requires understanding the dynamical mechanism by which they propagate. To include the influence of time-dependent psychological factors, this paper proposes an improved rumor spreading model and derives mean-field equations describing the dynamics of rumor spreading. The psychological factors considered are the attenuation of individual interest, the cumulative effect of memory, and changes in sensory intensity with time. We also obtain the threshold condition of rumor spreading. Numerical simulations are used to verify our theoretical results. It is proved that the extremum of the cumulative effect of memory and the rumor attraction rate are positively correlated with the peak number of rumor spreaders, and negatively with the time required to reach the final rumor size. Time grows geometrically, while sensory intensity grows arithmetically. The initial approval rate of the memory accumulation effect and the stifling mechanism have little effect on the final rumor size. Finally, it is found that increasing the attenuation of interest coefficient reduces the time needed for the rumor to reach its final size.

Studying more realistic propagation mechanisms of rumors is crucial to controlling their spreading. Considering the reality of people’s forgetting and losing interest in the process of rumor spreading, the oblivion-recall mechanism and the loss-interest mechanism are both introduced in this paper to construct a novel susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) model. In our SIR model, the forgetting is regarded as an independent state type of the population, and we use the forgetting factor [Formula: see text] and the recall factor [Formula: see text] to characterize the oblivion-recall mechanism. The mean-field equations are established respectively to describe the transmission dynamics of rumors in homogeneous networks and inhomogeneous networks. By performing stable state analysis, the relationship between these two parameters [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the propagation critical thresholds [Formula: see text] is investigated. It shows that [Formula: see text] is directly proportional to [Formula: see text], which indicates that the loss-interest mechanism makes [Formula: see text] exist, and the oblivion-recall mechanism increases the value of [Formula: see text]. Thus, the oblivion-recall mechanism reduces the outbreak probability of rumor spreading. It also reveals that when considering the impact of oblivion-recall mechanism, both the final rumor size and the propagation velocity of rumors decrease. Moreover, in the case of considering the existence of oblivion-recall mechanism, it is still found that the network topology is an important factor affecting the spread of rumors. We wish that our study can offer a new angle of view on the issue of the spread of rumors.

AbstractWith the rapid development of information society, rumor plays an increasingly crucial part in social communication, and its spreading has a significant impact on human life. In this paper, a stochastic rumor-spreading model with Holling II functional response function considering the existence of time delay and the disturbance of white noise is proposed. Firstly, the existence of a unique global positive solution of the model is studied. Then the asymptotic behavior of the global solution around the rumor-free and rumor-local equilibrium nodes of the deterministic system is discussed. Finally, through some numerical results, the validity and availability of theoretical analysis is verified powerfully, and it shows that some factors such as the transmission rate, the intensity of white noise, and the time delay have significant relationship with the dynamical behavior of rumor spreading.

Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) can effectively support network operation through their intrinsic flexibility and play a pivotal role in delivering cost effective decarbonization. This paper proposes a scalable distributed solution for the operation of large populations of TCLs providing frequency response and performing energy arbitrage. Each TCL is described as a price-responsive rational agent that participates in an integrated energy/frequency response market and schedules its operation in order to minimize its energy costs and maximize the revenues from frequency response provision. A mean field game formulation is used to implement a compact description of the interactions between typical power system characteristics and TCLs flexibility properties. In order to accommodate the heterogeneity of the thermostatic loads into the mean field equations, the whole population of TCLs is clustered into smaller subsets of devices with similar properties, using k-means clustering techniques. This framework is applied to a multi-area power system to study the impact of network congestions and of spatial variation of flexible resources in grids with large penetration of renewable generation sources. Numerical simulations on relevant case studies allow to explicitly quantify the effect of these factors on the value of TCLs flexibility and on the overall efficiency of the power system.
