Abstract

A new model for the local spread of some token (e.g. malware between mobile computing devices, information in a mobile social network, rumors in a moving crowd) is introduced. The diffusion of the information is analyzed both empirically by aMonteCarlo method and analytically by mean field theory, revealing the existence of a phase transition. The results are compared and found in strong qualitative agreement.
