  1. All networks have maximum degree n=100 (N104). Those here considered are BA networks with values of β equal to 1,2,3,4,5 (resp. denoted BA1, BA2, BA3, BA4, BA5), uncorrelated networks (UNC), disassortative and assortative networks (resp., DIS and ASS). The values of the q coefficient here considered, 0.30, 0.38, 0.48, belong to a range of typical realistic values in innovation diffusion theory (Jiang et al. 2006) and the publicity coefficient is set to the value p=0.03, which is another realistic value (Jiang et al. 2006). The assortativity coefficients of the BA networks are respectively r=−0.104,−0.089,−0.078,−0.071,−0.065. The disassortative network is built with the Newman recipe (Newman 2003; Bertotti and Modanese 2019) with d=4 and has r=−0.084. The assortative network is built with our recipe (Bertotti et al. 2016; Bertotti and Modanese 2019) with α=1/2, and has r=0.863
