Evolutionary Game Propagation Model on Social Networks

Abstract

To investigate the propagation mechanism of public opinion in social networks, this paper investigates the influence of initial propagation nodes on propagating public opinion and whether individuals participate in the propagation strategy based on evolutionary game theory. Experimental simulations of SIR contagion model propagation and game strategy learning are done in small-world networks, scale-free networks, and Facebook friend networks using different node influence calculation methods to select initial propagation nodes.
