Abstract In the influence maximization problem, existing methods based on greed and the centrality of network structure are difficult to strike a balance between accuracy and time complexity. Aiming at the limitations of existing algorithms, an improved sine-cosine optimization search influence maximization algorithm DSCA is proposed. This method takes into account the two-hop neighbors of nodes, and combines the position update concept of the optimization algorithm with dynamic small-range search to optimize a single node. The sine-cosine search, alignment and mutation operators are used to search nodes based on ordering. Experiments on four networks show that the proposed method has wider propagation range and lower time complexity than the advanced benchmark method, which proves the superiority and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.
