Stabilizing Technology for Online User Dynamics by Controlling One-Way Weights of Links

Dynamics concerning the distribution of information and propagation of activities is an exciting research topic for two-way communication through social networking services such as Facebook and Twitter. Overheating user dynamics has the positive side of boosting the market, but on the other hand, it can also develop into social problems, such as the Internet going up in flames. The peculiar user dynamics in online social networks expand far beyond the speed of users' rational decisions, requiring real-time and simple countermeasures that take advantage of mechanisms on information networks. We have proposed a wave-equation-based model describing the propagation of several user activities through networks. In this paper, we study whether user activities can be calmed down by adjusting the weight of the physical information communication link between online users and whether Internet flaming can be suppressed by changing the network structure on the oscillation model.
