On topological properties of propagation networks for rumor short message

Abstract：Characteristics and ways of rumor short message propagation are analyzed in view of the rumor short message propagation process as networks growth.The initial network is star topology, and the link nodes connected with the new added one are chosen in the local world.The selection of the local world depends on the value of network path between nodes.Model generating algorithm of rumor short message propagation networks is put forward.Degree distribution, clustering coefficient along with average path length are analyzed.Simulation result shows that the rumor short message propagation network has small-world, scale-free property and clear community structure.
