Abstract

On this work we focus on the limit distribution of a discrete time interacting particle system with state space $F^S$ where $F$ is a finite set, $S$ is a set of vertices of some graph. An infinite number of changes are allowd at the same time. This model can be seen as a diffusion technology model where a technology is better than other and the agents (particles) try to copy the better technology among his neighbours. (AU)
