Modeling Spread of Information in Finite Hierarchical Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

A stochastic model of spreading information in an online community networks with finite populations is introduced. The impact of finite population size and cumulative effect on networks with two levels mixing is assessed. A number of explicit results are derived by using the computational methods of Markov chain path integral.
