Abstract:
How to observe the state of a network from a limited number of measurements has become an important issue in complex networks, engineering, communication, epidemiology, etc. Under some scenarios, it is either unfeasible or unnecessary to observe the entire network. Therefore, we investigate the target observation of a network in this paper. We propose a target minimal dominating set problem corresponding to target observation, which is a natural generalization of classical minimal dominating set problem. Three algorithms are proposed to approximate the minimum set of occupied nodes sufficient for target observation. Extensive numerical results on computer-generated random networks and real-world networks demonstrate that the proposed algorithms offer superior performance in identification of a target minimal dominating set.
