Table 1

Symbols table.

Symbol	Description
𝑁	The number of nodes in the entire network
𝑛	The number of Influential Nodes
𝑀	The proportion of the invasive nodes
𝑀𝑁	The number of invasive nodes
𝐾	The average number of edges for every node (average node degree)
𝑚	The average number of extra edges for the Influential Nodes
𝑘	The average number of extra edges for the nodes in the invasive community
𝑃	The proportion of the first way of process
𝑡	Time (or the number of the steps)
𝑇	The length of experiment
𝑤	The evolution weight
𝑑𝑖𝑗(𝑡)	If nodes 𝑖 and 𝑗 connect at time 𝑡 𝑑𝑖𝑗(𝑡)=1. Otherwise 𝑑𝑖𝑗(𝑡)=0
𝜎𝑖(𝑡)	The opinion value of node𝑖 at time 𝑡
