The rumor propagation analysis and important nodes detection is a hot topic in complex network under crisis situation. The traditional propagation model does not consider enough states, so it cannot intact reflect the real world. In this paper, a new rumor propagation model which considers the Wiseman and the Truth Spreader is proposed based on the Graph Theory. Then, 3 new methods are proposed to find important nodes in the new model. These methods consider the differences between nodes to evaluate the importance of the nodes. Finally, 4 networks are demonstrated to show that the 3 proposed methods are useful to control rumor propagation.

Keywords: Rumor propagation, complex network, important nodes, propagation model.
