Understanding information interactions in diffusion: an evolutionary game-theoretic perspective

摘要

Social networks are fundamental mediums for diffusion of information and contagions appear at some node of the network and get propagated over the edges. Prior researches mainly focus on each contagion spreading independently, regardless of multiple contagions’ interactions as they propagate at the same time. In the real world, simultaneous news and events usually have to compete for user’s attention to get propagated. In some other cases, they can cooperate with each other and achieve more influences.
