===Equations in discrete time===
List of all the equations in [[discrete time]], in their order of execution in each year, for years 1 to 15 :

 <math>1) \ \mbox{Probability that contact has not yet adopted}=\mbox{Potential adopters} / (\mbox{Potential adopters } + \mbox{ Adopters}) </math>
 <math>2) \ \mbox{Imitators}=q \cdot \mbox{Adopters} \cdot \mbox{Probability that contact has not yet adopted}</math>
 <math>3) \ \mbox{Innovators}=p \cdot \mbox{Potential adopters} </math>
 <math>4) \ \mbox{New adopters}=\mbox{Innovators}+\mbox{Imitators} </math>
 <math>4.1) \ \mbox{Potential adopters}\ -= \mbox{New adopters }</math>
 <math>4.2) \ \mbox{Adopters}\ += \mbox{New adopters }</math>

 <math>\ p=0.03 </math>
 <math>\ q=0.4 </math>

====Dynamic simulation results====
{{Main|Dynamic simulation}}

The dynamic simulation results show that the behaviour of the system would be to have growth in ''adopters'' that follows a classic s-curve shape.<br />
The increase in ''adopters'' is very slow initially, then exponential growth for a period, followed ultimately by saturation.
