The identification of spreading influence nodes in social networks, which studies how to
detect important individuals in human society, has attracted increasing attention from …

The network structural properties at the micro-level, community-level and macro-level have
different contributions to the spreading influence of nodes. The challenge is how to make …

Identifying influential nodes in a network is vital for the study of social network structure and
to facilitate the dissemination of requisite information. The challenge we address is that …

Social network is an abstract presentation of social systems where ideas and information
propagate through the interactions between individuals. It is an essential issue to find a set …

The detection of top influential users in social networks is considered one of the current vital
research field. The spreading of the information in social networks can be analyzed and …

Influence maximization (IM) is a challenge in social networks, which depends on the
spreader selection. We propose a quadratic programming model to identify a fixed number …

Node centrality and vertex similarity in network graph topology are two of the most
fundamental and significant notions for network analysis. Defining meaningful and …

One of the important issues concerning the spreading process in social networks is the
influence maximization. This is the problem of identifying the set of the most influential nodes …

The influence maximization problem has gained increasing attention in recent years.
Previous research focuses on the development of algorithms to analyze static social …
