Cascading Behavior in Networks

\r\nThe first task is to examine the correlation between tie strength and neighborhood [login to view URL] we want to find out if there is a correlation between neighborhood overlap of two users and the tie strength of the edge connecting these two users.\\r\\n\\r\\nInitially, all nodes have adopted behavior B, except for the seed nodes 1 and 2. Nodes 1 and 2 have adopted A. At each time step, nodes may switch from B to AB or to A, and from AB to A, as described in the book. The task is to simulate the cascade of adoptions that occurs (if it occurs at all) for different combinations of values of the cost parameters a and c. Like in [1], we assume that b = 1.\\r\\nSpecifically, by simulating the network many time steps until convergence, determine for a given combination of a,c whether a complete cascade occurs or not
