Table 2 Glossary of notations to describe harvesting and spreading of information

From: Information flow to increase support for tidal energy development in remote islands of a developing country: agent-based simulation of information flow in Flores Timur Regency, Indonesia

Harvesting from cell to agent

 \({H_{C_{i,t}}}\)

Harvested c-info amount by the agent i at time t

 \({{C_{i_{ i,t}}}^{\mathrm{cell}}}\)

c-info in the cell of agent i at time t

 \({{C_{i_{ i,t}}}^{\mathrm{agent}}}\)

c-info in the agent i at time t

 \({C_{i_{H,i}}}\)

c-info harvesting rate of agent i

 \({H_{I_{ i,t}}}\)

Harvested i-info amount by the agent i at time t

 \({{I_{i_{ i,t}}}^{\mathrm{cell}}}\)

i-info in the cell of agent i at time t

 \({{I_{i_{ i,t}}}^{\mathrm{agent}}}\)

i-info in the agent i at time t

 \({I_{i_{H,i}}}\)

i-info harvesting rate of agent i

 \({A_i}\)

Age of agent i

 \({E_i}\)

Education level of agent i

Spreading from agent to agent

 \({S_{C_{ i,j,t}}}\)

c-info sharing from agent i to agent j at time t

 \({S_{I_{i,j,t}}}\)

i-info sharing from agent i to agent j at time t

 \({C_{i_{R,j}}}\)

c-info receiving rate of agent j

 \({I_{i_{R,j}}}\)

i-info receiving rate of agent j

 \({F_i}\)

Influence level of agent i

 \({S_{C_{i}}}\)

c-info spreading rate of agent i

 \({S_{{I}_{i}}}\)

c-info spreading rate of agent i

Spreading from cell to cell

 \({E_{{C}_{ i,j,t}}}\)

c-info spreading from cell i to cell j at time t

 \({E_{{I}_{ i,j,t}}}\)

i-info spreading from cell i to cell j at time t

 \({{C}_{i_{{N}}}}\)

Natural spreading rate of c-info

 \({{I}_{i_{{N}}}}\)

Natural spreading rate of i-info

  1. c-info denotes information about collective benefits of tidal energy
  2. i-info denotes information about individual benefits of tidal energy
