SIR Rumor spreading model with trust rate distribution
Networks and Heterogeneous Media, 2018 In this paper, we study a rumor spreading model in which several types of ignorants exist with trust rate distributions $λ_i $, $≤ i≤ N$. We rigorously show the existence of a threshold on a momentum type initial quantity related to rumor outbreak ...

Love, Class‐Crossing Courtship, and the Reading of English Novels in Late Eighteenth‐Century Sweden
Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how novel reading influenced the courtship practices of Pehr Stenberg, a peasant who became a clergyman. Stenberg wrote a detailed account of his life in which his courtships of high‐born women are described in detail. These courtships took place during a transformative time when the ideal that marriage should be based on

Global stability of a SEIR rumor spreading model with demographics on scale-free networks
Advances in Difference Equations, 2017 In this paper, a new SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infected-removed) rumor spreading model with demographics on scale-free networks is proposed and investigated. Then the basic reproductive number R 0 $R_{0}$ and equilibria are obtained.

Quasirandom Rumor Spreading on Expanders
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2009 Abstract Randomized rumor spreading is an efficient way to distribute information in networks. Recently, a quasirandom version of this protocol has been proposed. It was proven that it works equally well or even better in many settings. In this work, we exhibit a natural expansion property for networks, which ensures that quasirandom rumor spreading
