A Study on Information Diffusion Systems

In this project, a model interpreted by a differential equation system is developed to
study two-innovation diffusion. We will examine stability, developing tendency,
distribution, bifurcation and other properties of the system depending on different
model parameters. We will also investigate the corresponding discrete forms of the
system and compare the obtained results. Both approaches of mathematical analysis
and numerical simulations by computer programming will be applied. The model can
be applied to various practical circumstances in marketing, information diffusion etc..
For instance, profit optimization in the partner company can be studied using similar
approach but with real world data analysis. The outcome can provide inside for the
Infer Engine system.
