Given a social network represented by a graph
G
, we consider the problem of finding a bounded cardinality set of nodes
S
with the property that the influence spreading from
S
in
G
is as large as possible. The dynamics that govern the spread of influence is the following: initially only elements in
S
are influenced; subsequently at each round, the set of influenced elements is augmented by all nodes in the network that have a sufficiently large number of already influenced neighbors. While it is known that the general problem is hard to solve — even in the approximate sense — we present exact polynomial time algorithms for trees, paths, cycles, and complete graphs.
