In recent years, rumor spreading has caused widespread public panic and affected the whole social harmony and stability. Consequently, how to control the rumor spreading effectively and reduce its negative influence urgently needs people to pay much attention. In this paper, we mainly study the near-optimal control of a stochastic rumor spreading model with Holling II functional response function and imprecise parameters. Firstly, the science knowledge propagation and the refutation mechanism as the control strategies are introduced into a stochastic rumor spreading model. Then, some sufficient and necessary conditions for the near-optimal control of the stochastic rumor spreading model are discussed respectively. Finally, through some numerical simulations, the validity and availability of theoretical analysis is verified. Meanwhile, it shows the significance and effectiveness of the proposed control strategies on controlling rumor spreading, and demonstrates the influence of stochastic disturbance and imprecise parameters on the process of rumor spreading.
