When multiple information are spread on social networks, there may be cooperation and competition among these information. Based on a new spreading model of multiple information, we studied Cooperation and Competition in information spreading, and analyzed the influence of different factors on cooperation and competition. through a large number of computer simulation experiments, we found that: (1) when multiple information are spread on social networks, there is Cooperation and Competition among these information; (2) the smaller the distance between two information sources is, the stronger the Cooperation and Competition among these information are; (3) the greater the value of social reinforcement is, the stronger the cooperation and competition among these information are; (4) the weaker the human heterogeneity of one information is, the stronger the cooperation and competition among this information and other information are.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
