This Python library provides a versatile toolkit for simulating diffusion processes in complex networks. It offers support for various types of models, including temporal models, multilayer models, and combinations of both.

Documentation is available here!

• Complex Network Simulation: The library enables users to simulate diffusion processes in complex networks with ease. Whether you are studying information spread, disease propagation, or any other diffusion phenomena, this library has you covered.

• Temporal Models: You can work with temporal models, allowing you to capture the dynamics of processes over time. These temporal models can be created using regular time windows or leverage CogSnet.

• Multilayer Networks: The library supports multilayer networks, which are essential for modeling real-world systems with interconnected layers of complexity.

• Predefined Models: You have the option to use predefined diffusion models such as the Linear Threshold Model, Independent Cascade Model, and more. These models simplify the simulation process, allowing you to focus on your specific research questions.

• Custom Models: Additionally, Nwtwork Diffusion allows you to define your own diffusion models using open interfaces, providing flexibility for researchers to tailor simulations to their unique requirements.

• Centrality Measures: The library provides a wide range of centrality measures specifically designed for multilayer networks. These measures can be valuable for selecting influential seed nodes in diffusion processes.

• NetworkX Compatibility: Last but not least, the package is built on top of NetworkX, ensuring seamless compatibility with this popular Python library for network analysis. You can easily integrate it into your existing NetworkX-based workflows.

To install package run this command: pip install network_diffusion. Please note, that currently we support Linux, MacOS, and Windows only.
