Kempe-Kleinberg-Tardos Conjecture This conjecture is proved by Mossel and Roch in 2007 (STOC’07)
Linear Threshold (LT) Model • A node v has random threshold ~ U[0,1] • A node v is influenced by each neighbor w according to a weight bw,v such that • A node v becomes active when at least (weighted) fraction of its neighbors are active

Linear Threshold (LT) Model • A node v has random threshold ~ U[0,1] • A node v is influenced by each neighbor w according to a weight bw,v such that • A node v becomes active when at least (weighted) fraction of its neighbors are active
Triggering Model • Triggering model is not a general threshold model. • When triggering set at every node is fixed, it can be seen as a threshold model. Then # of influenced nodes is a monotone increasing submodular function of seed set. • Triggering model is a linear combination of threshold models. Coefficients are probability.
