Abstract

In this paper, we extend a viral model for product adoption which takes into account how an agent's (or subpop-ulation's) opinion affects the decision to adopt a product or not. Here the coupled adoption opinion model considers the case where the opinion dynamic evolves over a signed network, which captures antagonistic interactions between agents. These signed networks capture a more realistic class of opinion behaviors and lead to a rich set of adoption behaviors for the coupled model. The equilibria of this model are characterized and some stability properties of these equilibria are discussed. Further behavior of the coupled model is studied via simulation.
