We introduce a chain-binomial model in a heterogeneous complex social network (HCSN) to investigate the spread of a rumor. A novel formulation of the state of the Markov chain (MC) for the SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infected-removed) rumor epidemic model is obtained, where two discrete time measures...
