Abstract: In this paper, we create the rumor propagation model with diffusion behavior by considering the state of the rumor in both the time dimension and the space dimension comprehensively. Meanwhile, we demonstrate the reaction–diffusion model using Turing patterns after determining the prerequisites for their occurrence. In order to achieve the purpose of predicting and controlling rumors in time, we choose to utilize the parameter identification technique based on the Barzilai–Borwein (BB) algorithm and the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) algorithm. In the numerical simulation section, we first investigate how the rumor avoidance rate and cross-diffusion coefficients affect the propagation of rumors. Then, based on a continuous spatio-temporal system and complex network system, respectively, we perform parameter identification for the propagation model. We thoroughly examine how the type of algorithm, the quantity of unknown parameters, and the network structure affect the identification outcomes in terms of the cost function, error curve, and program function time. When the model constructed in this paper is used for parameter identification on different network structures, the error gap between the final value and the target value is not significant. However, the cost function and time consumption for parameter identification on complex networks are much smaller than on the continuous medium.
