Critical behavior of stochastic rumors on the one-dimensional integer lattice
Nevena Marić, Aleksandar Minić, Pablo M. Rodriguez
We study rumor-spreading models on the one-dimensional integer lattice, with particular emphasis on the effect of forgetting mechanisms on the long-term behavior of the rumor. We c…
Critical thresholds in stochastic rumors on trees
Jhon F. Puerres, Valdivino V. Junior, Pablo M. Rodriguez
The vertices of a tree represent individuals in one of three states: ignorant, spreader, or stifler. A spreader transmits the rumor to any of its nearest ignorant neighbors at rate…
How far can a rumor travel without shortcuts?
Ana C. Díaz Bacca, Pablo M. Rodriguez, Catalina M. Rúa-Alvarez
We consider a rumor model in which the network is divided into three classes of agents: ignorant, spreader, and stifler. A spreader transmits the rumor to each of its ignorant neig…
The impact of effective participation in stopping misinformation: an approach based on branching processes
Luz Marina Gomez, Valdivino V. Junior, Pablo M. Rodriguez
The emergence of research focused to understand the spreading and impact of disinformation is increasing year over year. Most times, the purpose of those who start the spreading of…
