สรุป	Directed network diffusion analysis studies how information, disease, behavior, or influence spreads through a network in which edges carry direction — meaning transmission flows one way along each link. It combines graph-theoretic representations with stochastic spreading models such as independent cascade, linear threshold, or SIR/SIS, and is central to influence maximization, epidemic forecasting, and information propagation research.	Directed community detection identifies densely interconnected groups of nodes in a directed network, accounting for the asymmetry of edges (e.g., A follows B does not imply B follows A). Adapting modularity or flow-based criteria to directed graphs reveals clusters that undirected methods systematically miss, making it essential for citation networks, follower graphs, and biological regulatory pathways.
