Rumours with general initial conditions
Selma Belen, C. E. M. Pearce · The ANZIAM Journal · 2004
Abstract An analysis is made of the Daley-Kendall and Maki-Thompson rumour models starting from general initial proportions of ignorants, spreaders and stiflers in the population. We investigate as a function of the initial conditions the composition of the final population when the rumour has run its course.
