Rumor model on homogeneous social network incorporating delay in expert intervention and government action (Q2204462): Difference between revisions

This paper presents a rumor model with time delay in expert intervention and government policy. The model incorporating \(\tau_1\) as delay in susceptible and expert interactions and \(\tau_2\) as delay in applying government policy is described as \(dS_1/dt=A_1-\beta e^{-aI}S_1I-\gamma S_1(t-\tau_1)S_2-\alpha S_1\), \(dS_2/dt=A_2+\gamma S_1(t-\tau_1)S_2-\alpha S_2\), and \(dI/dt=\beta e^{-aI}S_1I-\eta I(t-\tau_2)-\alpha I\), where \(S_1\) is susceptibles, \(S_2\) is experts, \(I\) means influenced people, \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) are recruitment rates of susceptibles and experts, \(\beta\) is per capita \((S_1,I)\) transmission rate, \(\gamma\) is per capita \((S_1,S_2)\) transmission rate, \(\eta\) is rate of recovery of infectors by government policy, \(\alpha\) is non interested rate of users, \(a\) is coefficient of network generated alertness. The condition of Hopf bifurcation is determined together with the critical values of time delay. The stability analysis of the model is performed with some numerical simulations illustrating the variation of parameters.
