A Framework for Complex Influence Propagation based on the F 2DLT Class of Diffusion Models

What are the key-features that enable an information diffusion model to explain the inherent complex dynamics of real-world propagation phenomena? To answer the above question, we discuss a novel class of stochastic Linear Threshold (LT) diffusion …

Cores matter? An analysis of graph decomposition effects on influence maximization problems

Estimating the spreading potential of nodes in a social network is an important problem which finds application in a variety of different contexts, ranging from viral marketing to spread of viruses and rumor blocking. Several studies have exploited …

Trust-Based Dynamic Linear Threshold Models for Non-competitive and Competitive Influence Propagation

What are the key-features that enable an information diffusion model to explain the inherent dynamic, and often competitive, nature of real-world propagation phenomena? In this paper we aim to answer this question by proposing a novel class of …
