Modeling diffusion of innovations with probabilistic cellular automata
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a family of one-dimensional cellular automata modeling the diffusion of an innovation in a population. Starting from simple deterministic rules, we construct models parameterized by the interaction range and exhibiting a second-order phase transition. We show that the number of individuals who eventually keep adopting the innovation strongly depends on connectivity between individuals.

Probabilistic cellular automata model for reaction diffusion systems
Class of cellular automata (CA) for modeling reaction diffusion systems has been presented. The construction of the CA is general enough to be applicable to large class of reaction diffusion equation s. Tne automata are based on running average procedure and on probabilistic table look up to implement diffusion reactions. The evolution of probabilistic CA simulates a spatially distributed proce...
متن کاملCellular Automata Simulation of a Bistable Reaction-Diffusion System: Microscopic and Macroscopic Approaches
The Cellular Automata method has been used to simulate the pattern formation of the Schlögl model as a bistable Reaction-Diffusion System. Both microscopic and macroscopic Cellular Automata approaches have been considered and two different methods for obtaining the probabilities in the microscopic approach have been mentioned. The results show the tendency of the system towards the more sta...
متن کاملCellular Automata Models for Diffusion of Innovations
We propose a probabilistic cellular automata model for the spread of innovations, rumors, news, etc. in a social system. The local rule used in the model is outertotalistic, and the range of interaction can vary. When the range R of the rule increases, the takeover time for innovation increases and converges toward its mean-field value, which is almost inversely proportional to R when R is larg...
متن کاملPattern Formation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo Model: Cellular Automata Approach
FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model is a famous Reaction-Diffusion System which first introduced for the conduction of electrical impulses along a nerve fiber. This model is also considered as an abstract model for pattern formation. Here, we have used the Cellular Automata method to simulate the pattern formation of the FHN model. It is shown that the pattern of this model is very similar to those...
متن کاملCellular Automata for Reaction Diffusion Systems
A class of cellular automata for reaction-diiusion systems is presented. It is based on a local average for the diiusive dynamics, and closely related to nite diierence schemes. The reactive dynamics is implemented as a lookup-table with probabilistic rules. The rules are derived directly and systematically from the given diierential equations, using probabilistic rounding to enforce the discre...
