description This paper focuses on the modeling of a rumor spreading in heterogeneous networks. Using the probability generating function method and pair approximation method, the current research obtains nonlinear differential equations to describe the dynamics of rumor spreading. The comparison between numerical simulations and Monte Carlo simulations confirms the accuracy of our model. Furthermore, the threshold condition is also obtained in this paper. The numerical simulation results show that the heterogeneity of the network accelerates the outbreak of rumors but reduces the maximum density of spreader and the scale of rumors. The present study also examines the effects of parameters on rumor transmission and the differences between rumor transmission recovery mechanisms and disease transmission recovery mechanisms.
