Earned benefit maximization in social networks under budget constraint

作者:

Highlights:

• Earned Benefit Maximization Problem has been studied.

• An approximation algorithm has been Proposed for this problem.

• The algorithm has been improved by exploiting the submodularity property of the benefit function.

• For larger datasets, an efficient heuristic solution has been proposed.

• Extensive set of experiments have been conducted.
