A diffusion logistic model of information dissemination in a social network in the form of a one-dimensional unsteady parabolic equation is considered. The problem of parametric identification is posed as an extreme problem for finding a parameter in the form of a spatially distributed function of network bandwidth. Gradient optimization methods are applied. The results obtained demonstrated uniform convergence to the exact solution in the method with an adjustable descent direction.
