Abstract

The effect of varying events of the information carrier with respect to the Eden cluster was investigated. The events where the Eden cluster were subjected to are: (a) information carrier was introduced at the origin, at random, and outside the Eden cluster, (b) with preference and no preference, (c) dynamic and static growth, and (d) different lattice sizes, 21x21, 51x51, 101x101, 151x151, 201x201, and 251 x251. The total time of information diffusion was fastest when the information carrier was introduced at the origin of the Eden cluster. The deviations between trials was greatest when the information carrier was introduced at random. Preference in the Eden cluster growth makes the total time of information diffusion shorter compared to having no preference. Dynamic growth allows faster time of information diffusion compared to static growth. Increasing lattice sizes also increases the total time of information diffusion but lessens the deviation between trials.
