Abstract

We consider models for inducing a maximum cascade of activating connections in social networks over a finite horizon subject to budget constraints. These models reflect problems of choosing an initial set of pairs of individuals to connect or engage in order to maximize the cascade of new connections or engagements over time. We assume connections activate as a result of past activation of neighboring connections. We show that the optimization problem is NP-hard, and we provide a method for improving computations.
