Complex dynamic analysis of a reaction-diffusion network information propagation model with non-smooth control

Abstract

Rumors do the social’s perception seal, leaving people untouched with the true thing. Since the harmfulness of rumors is well known, in order to cut off the net of rumors and make the society run in order, it is necessary to have a deeper understanding of the spread of rumors. In this paper, the non-smooth reaction–diffusion system with considering the encouraging effect of secondary propagation of Internet platform on rumor propagation is used to study the dynamic system of rumor propagation. Firstly, the existence of the non-negative solution is proved by using the theory of upper and lower solutions for mixed monotone system. Secondly, the value of the basic reproduction number is calculated and the existence of positive equilibrium are discussed. Thirdly, the backward bifurcation and the saddle-node bifurcation are investigated. Fourthly, the stability of rumor propagation equilibrium and Hopf bifurcation are analyzed theoretically. Finally, some numerical simulations which proves the validity of the above theory are provided.
