Target set selection on generalized pancake graphs. (English) Zbl 1446.05047

Summary: Target set selection (TSS) was initially proposed to study the problem of the spread of information, ideas or influence through a social network and had formulated many problems arising in various practical applications. We consider a particular type of graphs, namely \(n\)-dimensional \(m\)-sided pancake graph \(mP_n \), which is one class of Cayley graphs and is widely used in the symmetric interconnection networks. We establish a bound of TSS on \(mP_n\) by the minimum feedback vertex set.
