Notes on betweenness centrality of a graph

چکیده
The betweenness centrality of a vertex of a graph is the portion of shortest paths between all pairs of vertices passing through that vertex. We study selected general properties of this invariant and its relations to distance parameters (diameter, mean distance); also, there are studied properties of graphs whose vertices have the same value of betweenness centrality.

Further Results on Betweenness Centrality of Graphs
Betweenness centrality is a distance-based invariant of graphs. In this paper, we use lexicographic product to compute betweenness centrality of some important classes of graphs. Finally, we pose some open problems related to this topic.
متن کاملA Faster Algorithm to Update Betweenness Centrality after Node Alteration
Betweenness centrality is a centrality measure that is widely used, with applications across several disciplines. It is a measure which quantifies the importance of a vertex based on its occurrence in shortest paths between all possible pairs of vertices in a graph. This is a global measure, and in order to find the betweenness centrality of a node, one is supposed to have complete information ...
متن کاملOn the distribution of betweenness centrality in random trees
Betweenness centrality is a quantity that is frequently used to measure how ‘central’ a vertex v is. It is defined as the sum, over pairs of vertices other than v, of the proportions of shortest paths that pass through v. In this paper, we study the distribution of the betweenness centrality in random trees and related, subcritical graph families. Specifically, we prove that the betweenness cen...
متن کاملBetweenness Centrality as a Basis for Forming Skills
We show that betweenness centrality, a graph-theoretic measure widely used in social network analysis, provides a sound basis for autonomously forming useful high-level behaviors, or skills, from available primitives— the smallest behavioral units available to an autonomous agent.
متن کاملPath Centrality: A New Centrality Measure in Social Networks
Processing large graphs is an emerging and increasingly important computation in a variety of application domains, from social networking to genomics and marketing. One of the important and computationally challenging structural graph metrics is node betweenness centrality, a measure of influence of a node in the graph. The best known algorithm for computing exact betweenness centrality runs in...
