3. matplotlib
4. multiprocessing

Run Influence Maximization Task:

• IM-outdegree-main.py includes all the code necessary for running influence maximization tasks, such as loading data, reading sequences of dynamic budget changes, invoking algorithmic optimization, and writing logs. You can view the experimental settings at the "main entry point."
• run-IM-outdegree.py utilizes multiprocessing to parallelize the execution of optimization algorithms on another script, IM-outdegree-main.py.
• /outdegree datasets are saved in this folder.

Run Maximum Coverage Task:

• MC-outdegree-main.py includes all the code necessary for running maximum coverage tasks, such as loading data, reading sequences of dynamic budget changes, invoking algorithmic optimization, and writing logs. You can view the experimental settings at the "main entry point."
• run-MC-outdegree.py utilizes multiprocessing to parallelize the execution of optimization algorithms on another script, MC-outdegree-main.py.
• /outdegree datasets are saved in this folder.
