Abstract
A hierarchical network model is proposed, and information propagation process taking place on top of the network is investigated. It is found that the frequency distribution of refractory element number is bimodal and the location of initially chosen seed infection affects the spreading range of the information. Besides, when the initially selected individual belongs to a certain intermediate layer, the maximum spreading range of the information would be achieved. Our results can help optimize and control information spreading on social networks.
