We prove that TBM is \#P-hard under LT model. For any parameter ? ? (0,{\ensuremath{\gamma}}), we designed Greedy algorithm which return the solution A with the expected in?uence reduction greater than {\ensuremath{\gamma}}??, and the size of A is within factor 1+ln({\ensuremath{\gamma}}/?) of the optimal size. To speed-up Greedy algorithm, we designed an e?cient heuristic algorithm, called STBM algorithm. Experiments were conducted on real world networks which showed the e?ectiveness of proposed algorithms in term of both e?ectiveness and e?ciency.} }
