Module Description:

 finding set of seed node.

 cost of seed selection.

 influence maximization of user.
 profit maximization.

1.Finding set of seed node:

We carry out a comprehensive study on finding a set of seed
nodes to optimize the profit of viral marketing. We show that the profit
metric is significantly different from the influence metric in that it is no
longer monotone.

2.cost of seed selection:

In essence, the cost of seed selection is the price to pay for viral
marketing (e.g., providing the selected users with free samples or other
incentives). The influence spread, on the other hand, is the reward of
viral marketing potentially be translated into growth in the adoptions of
products.

3.influence maximization of user :

A large amount of recent work has been focusing on influence
maximization in viral marketing, which targets at selecting a set of
initial seed nodes in the OSN to spread the influence as widely as
possible.
4.profit maximization:
We define a general problem of profit maximization for viral
marketing in OSNs. We show that the profit metric is submodular but
not always monotone. this makes the seed selection for profit
maximization more challenging than that for influence
maximization. Selecting seed nodes to maximize the profit
becomes an unconstrained submodular maximization proble
