Under certain regularity conditions for $f$ (such as strong log-concavity), we can consider only the gram matrix: $\Delta^T X^T J X \Delta \geq \gamma_1 \Delta^T X^T X \Delta$ Denote $p_i$ the probability that node $i$ is infected at the beginning of the cascade. Let $\mathbb{P}(i)$ be the probability that $i$ is infected at one point during a cascade. Let $\mathbb{P}(S)$ for any set $S \subseteq N$ be the probability that $S$ is infected (all at once) at one point during a cascade. The diagonal of the Gram Matrix can be written as: \begin{equation} \nonumber c_j := \mathbb{P}(i) = p_i - \sum_{S \subseteq {\cal N}(i)} (-1)^{|S|} \mathbb{P}(S) \prod_{j \in S} w_{ji} = p_i + \sum_{j \in N(i)} w_{ji}c_j + \dots \end{equation} Note that we have the following bounds for $c_j$: \begin{align} c_j &\leq p_i + \sum_{j \in S} w_{ji} c_j \tag{PageRank}\\ c_j &\geq p_i + \max_{j \in S} w_{ji} c_j \tag{?} \end{align} \subsection*{Relaxed (RE) with high probability} \subsection*{Lower Bound} \end{document}
