Cumulative Dynamics of Independent Information Spreading Behaviour: A Physical Perspective

Abstract The popularization of information spreading in online social networks facilitates daily communication among people. Although much work has been done to study the effect of interactions among people on spreading, there is less work that considers the pattern of spreading behaviour when peopl...

description Abstract The popularization of information spreading in online social networks facilitates daily communication among people.
