Abstract

We study the contagion game with the bilingual option on infinite regular graphs introduced and modeled mathematically in [8]. In the reference, Immorlica et al. studied conditions for an innovation to become epidemic over infinite regular trees, the grid, and the infinite thick-lines in terms of payoff enhancement and cost of the bilingual option. We improved their results by showing that the class of infinite regular trees make an innovation least advantageous to become epidemic considering the whole class of infinite regular graphs. Moreover, we show that any infinite Δ-regular graph containing the infinite Δ-tree structure is also least advantageous to be epidemic. Also, we construct an infinite family of infinite Δ-regular graphs (including the thick Δ-line) that is the most advantageous to be epidemic as known so far.
