A target set selection model is a graph $G$ with a threshold function $\tau:V\to \mathbb{N}$ upper-bounded by the vertex degree. For a given model, a set $S_0\subseteq V(G)$ is a target set if $V(G)$ can be partitioned into non-empty…
Given a simple, undirected graph $G$ with a threshold function $\tau:V(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$, the \textsc{Target Set Selection} (TSS) problem is about choosing a minimum cardinality set, say $S \subseteq V(G)$, such that starting a…

In this paper, we consider the Target Set Selection problem: given a graph and a threshold value $thr(v)$ for any vertex $v$ of the graph, find a minimum size vertex-subset to "activate" s.t. all the vertices of the graph are activated at…
The Target Set Selection problem takes as an input a graph $G$ and a non-negative integer threshold $ \mbox{thr}(v) $ for every vertex $v$. A vertex $v$ can get active as soon as at least $ \mbox{thr}(v) $ of its neighbors have been…
Given a network represented by a graph $G=(V,E)$, we consider a dynamical process of influence diffusion in $G$ that evolves as follows: Initially only the nodes of a given $S\subseteq V$ are influenced; subsequently, at each round, the set…
Motivated by applications in sociology, economy and medicine, we study variants of the Target Set Selection problem, first proposed by Kempe, Kleinberg and Tardos. In our scenario one is given a graph $G=(V,E)$, integer values $t(v)$ for…
Let $G = (V,E)$ be a graph on $n$ vertices, where $d_v$ denotes the degree of vertex $v$, and $t_v$ is a threshold associated with $v$. We consider a process in which initially a set $S$ of vertices becomes active, and thereafter, in…

We consider a non-monotone activation process $(X_t)_{t\in\{ 0,1,2,\ldots\}}$ on a graph $G$, where $X_0\subseteq V(G)$, $X_t=\{ u\in V(G):|N_G(u)\cap X_{t-1}|\geq \tau(u)\}$ for every positive integer $t$, and $\tau:V(G)\to \mathbb{Z}$ is…
Detecting on a graph the presence of the minimum number of nodes (target set) that will be able to "activate" a prescribed number of vertices in the graph is called the target set selection problem (TSS) proposed by Kempe, Kleinberg, and…
Time series segmentation (TSS) is one of the time series (TS) analysis techniques, that has received considerably less attention compared to other TS related tasks. In recent years, deep learning architectures have been introduced for TSS,…

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is an enhancement of Ethernet which provides various mechanisms for real-time communication. Time-triggered (TT) traffic represents periodic data streams with strict real-time requirements. Amongst others,…

Temporal graphs have edge sets that change over discrete time steps. Such graphs are temporally connected (TC) if all pairs of vertices can reach each other using paths that traverse the edges in a time-respecting way (temporal paths).…
Given a graph $G$ with a vertex threshold function $\tau$, consider a dynamic process in which any inactive vertex $v$ becomes activated whenever at least $\tau(v)$ of its neighbors are activated. A vertex set $S$ is called a target set if…
Identifying communities from temporal networks facilitates the understanding of potential dynamic relationships among entities, which has already received extensive applications. However, existing methods primarily rely on lower-order…
A $k$-dominating set is a set $D$ of nodes of a graph such that, for each node $v$, there exists a node $w \in D$ at distance at most $k$ from $v$. Our aim is the deterministic distributed construction of small $T$-dominating sets in time…
