Based on a new spreading model of multiple information, we studied Cooperation and Competition in information spreading, and analyzed the influence of different factors on Cooperation and Competition. Through a large number of computer simulation experiments, we found that: (1) when multiple information are spread on social networks, there is Cooperation and Competition among these information; (2) the smaller the distance between two information sources is, the stronger the Cooperation and Competition among these information are; (3) the greater the value of social reinforcement is, the stronger the Cooperation and Competition among these information are; (4) the weakScientific reportsCooperation and Competition among information on social networks.PMC73761552662015BQ047Li HZan YLi ZZhu ZZhang YGao CXu JfalseCooperation and Competition among information on social networks.When multiple information are spread on social networks, there may be Cooperation and Competition among these information.
