Explicit solutions of the Bass and susceptible-infected models on hypernetworks

Phys Rev E. 2024 Nov;110(5-1):054306. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.110.054306.

Abstract

We analyze the Bass model and the susceptible-infected model on hypernetworks with three-body interactions. We derive the master equations for general hypernetworks and use them to obtain explicit expressions for the expected adoption-infection level on infinite complete hypernetworks, infinite Erdős-Rényi hypernetworks, and on infinite hyperlines. These expressions are exact, as they are derived without making any approximation.
