Diffusion Models

Diffusion models

• A diffusion model is a mathematical framework used to describe the spread of something through a medium or population over time. It is commonly employed in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, sociology, and economics.
• In physics and chemistry, diffusion models describe the movement of particles through a substance due to random motion. In social sciences, diffusion models may be used to understand the spread of innovations, ideas, or behaviors within a population.
• Diffusion models often involve differential equations that describe how the concentration or adoption of a substance or idea changes over time and space.
