چکیده

Structure of real networked systems, such as social relationship, can be modeled as temporal networks in which each edge appears only at the prescribed time. Understanding the structure of temporal networks requires quantifying the importance of a temporal vertex, which is a pair of vertex index and time. In this paper, we define two centrality measures of a temporal vertex based on the fastest temporal paths which use the temporal vertex. The definition is free from parameters and robust against the change in time scale on which we focus. In addition, we can efficiently compute these centrality values for all temporal vertices. Using the two centrality measures, we reveal that distributions of these centrality values of realworld temporal networks are heterogeneous. For various datasets, we also demonstrate that a majority of the highly central temporal vertices are located within a narrow time window around a particular time. In other words, there is a bottleneck time at which most information sent in the temporal network passes through a small number of temporal vertices, which suggests an important role of these temporal vertices in spreading phenomena.

Higher-Order Aggregate Networks in the Analysis of Temporal Networks: Path structures and centralities

Recent research on temporal networks has highlighted the limitations of a static network perspective for our understanding of complex systems with dynamic topologies. In particular, recent works have shown that i) the specific order in which links occur in real-world temporal networks affects causality structures and thus the evolution of dynamical processes, and ii) higher-order aggregate repr...

Disrupted brain connectivity networks in drug-naive, first-episode major depressive disorder.

BACKGROUND Neuroimaging studies have shown that major depressive disorder (MDD) is accompanied by structural and functional abnormalities in specific brain regions and connections; yet, little is known about alterations of the topological organization of whole-brain networks in MDD patients. METHODS Thirty drug-naive, first-episode MDD patients and 63 healthy control subjects underwent a rest...

Exponentially Twisted Sampling: a Unified Approach for Centrality Analysis in Attributed Networks

In our recent works, we developed a probabilistic framework for structural analysis in undirected networks and directed networks. The key idea of that framework is to sample a network by a symmetric and asymmetric bivariate distribution and then use that bivariate distribution to formerly defining various notions, including centrality, relative centrality, community, and modularity. The main ob...

Centralities in simplicial complexes. Applications to protein interaction networks.

Complex networks can be used to represent complex systems which originate in the real world. Here we study a transformation of these complex networks into simplicial complexes, where cliques represent the simplices of the complex. We extend the concept of node centrality to that of simplicial centrality and study several mathematical properties of degree, closeness, betweenness, eigenvector, Ka...
