We study the problem of maximizing non-monotone diminish return (DR)-submodular function on the bounded integer lattice, which is a generalization of submodular set function. DR-submodular functions consider the case that we can choose multiple copies for each element in the ground set. This generalization has many applications in machine learning. In this paper, we propose a [Formula: see text]-approximation algorithm with a running time of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the size of the ground set, [Formula: see text] is the upper bound of integer lattice. Discovering important properties of DR-submodular function, we propose a fast double greedy algorithm which improves the running time.

AbstractIn social networks, there exist many kinds of groups in which people may have the same interests, hobbies, or political orientation. Sometimes, group decisions are made by simply majority, which means that most of the users in this group reach an agreement, such as US Presidential Elections. A group is called activated if $$\beta$$ β percent of users are influenced in the group. Enterprise will gain income from all influenced groups. Simultaneously, to propagate influence, enterprise needs pay advertisement diffusion cost. Group profit maximization (GPM) problem aims to pick k seeds to maximize the expected profit that considers the benefit of influenced groups with the diffusion cost. GPM is proved to be NP-hard and the objective function is proved to be neither submodular nor supermodular. An upper bound and a lower bound which are difference of two submodular functions are designed. We propose a submodular–modular algorithm (SMA) to solve the difference of two submodular functions and SMA is shown to converge to a local optimal. We present an randomized algorithm based on weighted group coverage maximization for GPM and apply sandwich framework to get theoretical results. Our experiments verify the efficiency of our methods.
