and a model for the competitive diffusion of multiple topics is proposed to understand the competitive diffusion of multiple topics in online social networks. Analyzing real network data
it is found that just a few users continue to focus on the same topic
and many users transfer their attentions among multiple similar topics. In this case
similar topics attract users to participate in a competitive situation. Based on the analysis results
a diffusion model describing the dynamic diffusion process of multiple topics in the competitive situation is proposed. Experiment validates that the model reproduces the unimodality and long tail characteristics of dynamic changes of users who participate in multiple topics
and achieves a good performance. A comparison with actual data show that the error of average peak time of the proposed model is 0.2 day
the error of average diffusion period is 2.4 days
and the error of average transferring proportion among topics is 1.2%. These results show that the model can effectively describe the competitive diffusion of multiple topics in online social networks.
