Abstract
We extend the classic Bass diffusion model to address the case in which existing adopters could depress the growth of adoption, i.e., the diffusion process is self-restraining. Two modified Bass models are proposed according to whether the negative depressive effect is exerted on potential adopters or existing adopters. We then characterize the diffusion paths for several generalizations.
Keywords: diffusion, Bass model, self-restraining
