Abstract
Maximizing the spread of influence is to select a set of seeds with specified size to maximize the spread of influence under a certain diffusion model in a social network. In the actual spread process, the activated probability of node increases with its newly increasing activated neighbors, which also decreases with time. In this paper, we focus on the problem that selects k seeds based on the cascade model with diffusion decay to maximize the spread of influence in social networks. First, we extend the independent cascade model to incorporate the diffusion decay factor, called as the cascade model with diffusion decay and abbreviated as CMDD. Then, we discuss the objective function of maximizing the spread of influence under the CMDD, which is NP-hard. We further prove the monotonicity and submodularity of this objective function. Finally, we use the greedy algorithm to approximate the optimal result with the ration of 1 − 1/e.
