A multi-objective linear threshold influence spread model solved by swarm intelligence-based methods

作者：

Highlights：

• We thoroughly survey the existing solutions for the influence maximization problem.

• We propose the first solution for IMP using a multi-objective strategy.

• We apply metaheuristics with swarm intelligence-based methods on real social networks.

• The PSO algorithm allows efficient solution sets even for large numbers of nodes.
