Vertex betweenness centrality is essential in the analysis of social and information networks, and it quantify vertex importance in terms of its quantity of information along geodesic paths in network. Edge betweenness is similar to the vertex betweenness. Co-betweenness centrality is a natural developed notion to extend vertex betweenness centrality to sets of vertices, and pairwise co-between...

Centrality measures, erstwhile popular amongst the sociologists and psychologists, have seen broad and increasing applications across several disciplines of late. Amongst a plethora of application specific definitions available in the literature to rank the vertices, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality and eigenvector centrality (page-rank) have been the most important and widely appli...

Betweenness is a centrality measure based on shortest paths, widely used in complex network analysis. It is computationally-expensive to exactly determine betweenness; currently the fastest-known algorithm by Brandes requires O(nm) time for unweighted graphs and O(nm + n log n) time for weighted graphs, where n is the number of vertices and m is the number of edges in the network. These are als...

Betweenness centrality helps researcher to master the changes of the system from the overall perspective in software network. The existing betweenness centrality algorithm has high time complexity but low accuracy. Therefore, Layer First Searching (LFS) algorithm is proposed that is low in time complexity and high in accuracy. LFS algorithm searches the nodes with the shortest to the designated...

While shorter characteristic path length has in general been believed to enhance synchronizability of a coupled oscillator system on a complex network, the suppressing tendency of the heterogeneity of the degree distribution, even for shorter characteristic path length, has also been reported. To see this, we investigate the effects of various factors such as the degree, characteristic path len...

In this paper, we thoroughly investigate correlations of eigenvector centrality to five centrality measures, including degree centrality, betweenness centrality, clustering coefficient centrality, closeness centrality, and farness centrality, of various types of network (random network, smallworld network, and real-world network). For each network, we compute those six centrality measures, from...

Relation between codon usage and other biological phenomena in living organisms, has been proved in previous researches. In advance, recently, it is shown that the codon usage of co-expressed and co-function genes are similar. In this paper, we introduced a set of networks called codon usage equality networks, each network for an amino acid. These networks represent codon usage similarities bet...

The betweenness metric has always been intriguing and used in many analyses. Yet, it is one of the most computationally expensive kernels in graph mining. For that reason, making betweenness centrality computations faster is an important and well-studied problem. In this work, we propose the framework, BADIOS, which compresses a network and shatters it into pieces so that the centrality computa...

In addition to science citation indicators of journals like impact and immediacy, social network analysis provides a set of centrality measures like degree, betweenness, and closeness centrality. These measures are first analyzed for the entire set of 7,379 journals included in the Journal Citation Reports of the Science Citation Index and the Social Sciences Citation Index 2004, and then also ...

A disturbance in the integration of information during mental processing has been implicated in schizophrenia, possibly due to faulty communication within and between brain regions. Graph theoretic measures allow quantification of functional brain networks. Functional networks are derived from correlations between time courses of brain regions. Group differences between SZ and control groups ha...
