The Least Cost Directed Perfect Awareness Problem: complexity, algorithms and computations
In this paper, we investigate the Least Cost Directed Perfect Awareness Problem (LDPAP), a combinatorial optimization problem that deals with the spread of information on social networks. The objective of LDPAP is to minimize the cost of recruiting individuals capable of starting a propagation of a given news so that it reaches everyone. By showing that LDPAP can be regarded as a generalization of the Perfect Awareness Problem, we establish that LDPAP is NP-hard and we then prove that it remains NP-hard even when restricted to directed acyclic graphs. Our contributions also include two integer programming formulations, a heuristic based on the metaheuristic GRASP and a useful lower bound for the objective function. Lastly, we present extensive experiments comparing the efficiency and efficacy of our heuristic and mathematical models both on synthetic and on real-world datasets.
