网络中最大化影响扩散的参数化逼近

Parameterized Approximability of Maximizing the Spread of Influence in Networks

Cristina Bazgan, Morgan Chopin, André Nichterlein, Florian Sikora

摘要:

在本文中,我们考虑的问题,通过社会网络的影响力的传播最大化。给定一个图,每个顶点~ $v$都有一个阈值~ $thr(v)$,影响的传播被建模如下:如果顶点~ $v$的至少$thr(v)$的邻居是活动的,则顶点~ $v$变为“活动的”(受影响的)。在相应的优化问题中,目标是找到固定数量的顶点来激活,使得在传播过程结束时激活的顶点的数量最大。我们证明了这个问题是强不可逼近的fpt时间关于(w.r.t.)参数$k$,即使对于非常严格的阈值。在每个顶点的阈值等于它的度的情况下,我们证明了该问题在多项式时间内是不可逼近的,而在fpt时间内是$r(n)$ -可逼近的.参数$k$用于任何严格递增函数$r$。此外,我们还证明了决策版本是W[1]-hard w.r.t.参数$k$,但在有界度图上变得固定参数易处理。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the spread of influence through a social network. Given a graph with a threshold value~$thr(v)$ attached to each vertex~$v$, the spread of influence is modeled as follows: A vertex~$v$ becomes "active" (influenced) if at least $thr(v)$ of its neighbors are active. In the corresponding optimization problem the objective is then to find a fixed number of vertices to activate such that the number of activated vertices at the end of the propagation process is maximum. We show that this problem is strongly inapproximable in fpt-time with respect to (w.r.t.) parameter $k$ even for very restrictive thresholds. In the case that the threshold of each vertex equals its degree, we prove that the problem is inapproximable in polynomial time and it becomes $r(n)$-approximable in fpt-time w.r.t. parameter $k$ for any strictly increasing function $r$. Moreover, we show that the decision version is W[1]-hard w.r.t. parameter $k$ but becomes fixed-parameter tractable on bounded degree graphs.
