Abstract

Today, with the current shift being witnessed from ways of traditional marketing to spreading the product reach through social media, it becomes necessary to find the most suitable strategy to opt for influence maximization. This decision has been challenging due to certain factors which the traditional algorithms did not consider. Dynamic nature of user behaviour, enlargement of network over time, missing most common scenario where users are part of more than one network and the role of common nodes are some of these challenges. Thus, the solutions need to work in this direction as well. Many literatures have given algorithms and approaches keeping these considerations as well. In this paper, we have discussed many such challenges and approaches that researchers have devised over time.
