Title: General model of epidemic spreading in networks
Abstract:
Information spreading is pervasive in nature, society and engineering. We propose a general epidemic spreading model based ondiscrete time Markov chains. Our model covers not only the traditional models of rumor and disease spreading, but also includes some properties of recent models, such as apathy, forgetting, loss and recovering of interest in information diffusion. The model is evaluated analytically to obtain the spreading threshold for the contact and reactive processes. The comparison with Monte Carlo simulation shows that our model is very accurate. This study may contribute to the analysis of disease and rumor spreading under the same theoretical framework.
