Influence Sets Based on Reverse Nearest Neighbor Queries

Summary: Formalizes influence sets via reverse nearest neighbor (RNN) queries, a novel, asymmetric notion of influence. Proposes an RNN framework and an efficient R-tree based method for large datasets; experiments on geographic data show logarithmic scaling. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
