A model of information warfare in a society under a periodic destabilizing effect

Mathematical Models and Computer Simulations volume 9, pages 580–586 (2017)Cite this article

Abstract

A model of information warfare in a society when one of the parties periodically destabilizes the system by a short-term jump-wise increase in the intensity of the propaganda in the media is analyzed. The model has the form of two nonlinear ordinary differential equations with a periodic discontinuous right-hand side. The asymptotical solution to the periodic solutions are constructed for the case of low-intensity dissemination of information through interpersonal communication. The transient regime is investigated numerically.
