Equality of adoption levels in one-sided and two-sided Cartesian Bass models

About 2 years old · traced to

Let fD, 1−sided(t;p,q)f^{\rm D, \, 1-sided}(t;p,q) and fD(t;p,q)f^{\rm D}(t;p,q) denote the expected adoption levels in the discrete Bass models on homogeneous DD-dimensional one-sided and two-sided Cartesian networks on ZD\mathbb{Z}^D, respectively.

Equality conjecture. The expected adoption levels are identical:

fD, 1−sided(t;p,q)=fD(t;p,q).f^{\rm D, \, 1-sided}(t;p,q)=f^{\rm D}(t;p,q).

This claims that the directional structure of the one-sided network does not change the expected adoption level relative to the two-sided Cartesian network. The supplied text does not state whether the claim has been proved or disproved.
