Abstract

In this paper, we investigated a novel rumor spreading model with latent and constant recruitment. The delay is introduced into the model in order to modeled the latent period. The local dynamics of the model is completely determined by using concepts from the Dynamical Systems Theory. The stability of equilibrium points is established, according to a threshold number \(R_0\). Finally, some numerical simulations are performed to verify the theoretical analysis.
