From Competition to Complementarity: Comparative Influence Diffusion and Maximization
Summary: Introduces Com-IC, a diffusion framework with node-level automata capturing competition and complementarity in influence. NP-hard Self-Influence and Complementary Influence Maximization solved with RR-sets and a sandwich-approx.; experiments show gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
