In graph theory and network analysis, indicators of centrality identify the most important vertices within a graph. Applications include identifying the most influential person(s) in a social network, key infrastructure nodes in the Internet or urban networks, and super-spreaders of disease. Centrality concepts were first developed in social network analysis, and many of the terms used to measure centrality reflect their sociological origin.

在图论和网络分析中，中心性指标识别出一个图中最重要的顶点。用于识别社会网络中最有影响力的人、互联网或城市网络中的基础设施关键节点以及疾病的超级传播者。中心性概念最初在社会网络分析中发展起来，用来衡量中心性的许多术语反映了它们的社会学起源。

They should not be confused with node influence metrics, which seek to quantify the influence of every node in the network.

它们（中心性）不应与节点影响度相混淆，后者意在量化网络中每个节点的影响。

中心性指标的定义与特性

Centrality indices are answers to the question "What characterizes an important vertex?" The answer is given in terms of a real-valued function on the vertices of a graph, where the values produced are expected to provide a ranking which identifies the most important nodes.

The word "importance" has a wide number of meanings, leading to many different definitions of centrality. Two categorization schemes have been proposed.

The word "importance" has a wide number of meanings, leading to many different definitions of centrality. Two categorization schemes have been proposed.

“重要性”这个词有许多含义，导致了许多不同的中心性定义。分为两类。

"Importance" can be conceived in relation to a type of flow or transfer across the network. This allows centralities to be classified by the type of flow they consider important. "Importance" can alternatively be conceived as involvement in the cohesiveness of the network. This allows centralities to be classified based on how they measure cohesiveness. Both of these approaches divide centralities in distinct categories. A further conclusion is that a centrality which is appropriate for one category will often "get it wrong" when applied to a different category.

Both of these approaches divide centralities in distinct categories. A further conclusion is that a centrality which is appropriate for one category will often "get it wrong" when applied to a different category.

“重要性”可以被认为与一种跨网络的流动或传输有关。这允许根据它们认为重要的流类型对中心性进行分类。这两种方法都将中心性划分为不同的类别。进一步的推论是，适用于一个类别的中心性在（推广）应用于另一个类别时往往会“出错”。

When centralities are categorized by their approach to cohesiveness, it becomes apparent that the majority of centralities inhabit one category. The count of the number of walks starting from a given vertex differs only in how walks are defined and counted. Restricting consideration to this group allows for a soft characterization which places centralities on a spectrum from walks of length one (degree centrality) to infinite walks (eigenvalue centrality). The observation that many centralities share this familial relationships perhaps explains the high rank correlations between these indices.

当中心性按照它们对 内聚性Cohesiveness的趋近程度来分类时，很明显，大多数中心性都集中在一个类别中。从一个给定顶点开始对步数计数，不同之处只在于行走的定义和计数方式。对该组描述的约束限制，从位置中心（ 度中心度Degree centrality）到单元域（ 特征中心度Eigenvalue centrality），观察到许多中心性都有这种相似关系，这也许可以解释这些指数之间的高阶相关性。

网络流特征

A network can be considered a description of the paths along which something flows. This allows a characterization based on the type of flow and the type of path encoded by the centrality. A flow can be based on transfers, where each indivisible item goes from one node to another, like a package delivery going from the delivery site to the client's house. A second case is serial duplication, in which an item is replicated so that both the source and the target have it. An example is the propagation of information through gossip, with the information being propagated in a private way and with both the source and the target nodes being informed at the end of the process. The last case is parallel duplication, with the item being duplicated to several links at the same time, like a radio broadcast which provides the same information to many listeners at once.

一个网络可以被看成是对某种物体流动的路径描述。使基于流的类型和由中心性编码的路径类型（同时）得到表征。一个流可以基于传输，每个不可分割的项目从一个节点到另一个节点，就像一个包裹从配送站送到客户的房子。第二种情况是串行复制，在这种情况下，一个项从源节点被复制到达目标节点。例如通过流言传播信息，以私有方式传播信息，并在流程结束时通知源节点和目标节点。最后一种情况是并行复制，即同时将项目复制到多个链接，就像无线电广播一次性向多个听众提供相同的信息。

Likewise, the type of path can be constrained to geodesics (shortest paths), paths (no vertex is visited more than once), trails (vertices can be visited multiple times, no edge is traversed more than once), or walks (vertices and edges can be visited/traversed multiple times).

Likewise, the type of path can be constrained to geodesics (shortest paths), paths (no vertex is visited more than once), trails (vertices can be visited multiple times, no edge is traversed more than once), or walks (vertices and edges can be visited/traversed multiple times).

同样，路径类型可以被限定为 测地线Distance (最短路径)、路径(对顶点的访问不超过一次)、小径(可以访问多次顶点，没有边被访问超过一次)或者步子(可以访问/遍历多次顶点和边)。

行走结构特征

An alternative classification can be derived from how the centrality is constructed. This again splits into two classes. Centralities are either radial or medial. Radial centralities count walks which start/end from the given vertex. The degree and eigenvalue centralities are examples of radial centralities, counting the number of walks of length one or length infinity. Medial centralities count walks which pass through the given vertex. The canonical example is Freeman's betweenness centrality, the number of shortest paths which pass through the given vertex.

可以从中心性的构造方式推导出另一种分类方法。这又分成了两个类。中心点可以是放射状的，也可以是内侧的。从给定顶点开始/结束的径向中心点数。度和特征值中心是 径向中心Radial centralities的例子，计算长度为一或无穷大的行走的个数。 中间中心性Medial centralities计算通过给定顶点的步数。典型的例子是 弗里曼的 中介中心性Betweenness centrality,，即穿过给定顶点的最短路径的数量。

Likewise, the counting can capture either the volume or the length of walks. Volume is the total number of walks of the given type. The three examples from the previous paragraph fall into this category. Length captures the distance from the given vertex to the remaining vertices in the graph. Freeman's closeness centrality, the total geodesic distance from a given vertex to all other vertices, is the best known example. Note that this classification is independent of the type of walk counted (i.e. walk, trail, path, geodesic).

同样地，计数可以抓住行走的体积或长度。体积是给定类型的行走的总数。上一段的三个例子就属于这一类。长度则给出从给定顶点到图中其余顶点的距离。弗里曼 的 紧密中心性Closeness centrality，即从一个给定顶点到所有其他顶点的测地距离，是最著名的例子。请注意，这种分类独立于步行计数的类型(即：步行，小道，路径，测地线)。

Borgatti and Everett propose that this typology provides insight into how best to compare centrality measures. Centralities placed in the same box in this 2×2 classification are similar enough to make plausible alternatives; one can reasonably compare which is better for a given application. Measures from different boxes, however, are categorically distinct. Any evaluation of relative fitness can only occur within the context of predetermining which category is more applicable, rendering the comparison moot.

博尔加蒂和埃弗雷特提出，这种类型学为如何最好地比较中心性度量提出了建议。在这个22分类中，放在同一盒子中的中心点足够相似，可以做出合理的选择; 人们可以合理地比较哪个对于给定的应用更好。然而，不同盒子中的度量方法是截然不同的。只有在预先确定哪个类别更适用的情况下，对相对适应性的评估才会发生，这使得比较变得毫无意义。

光谱上存在的径向体积中心

The characterization by walk structure shows that almost all centralities in wide use are radial-volume measures. These encode the belief that a vertex's centrality is a function of the centrality of the vertices it is associated with. Centralities distinguish themselves on how association is defined.

步行结构的特征表明，几乎所有广泛使用的中心性都是径向体积的衡量。这得出结论顶点的中心性是与之相关联的顶点中心性的函数。中心性根据如何定义关联而不同。

Bonacich showed that if association is defined in terms of walks, then a family of centralities can be defined based on the length of walk considered. Degree centrality counts walks of length one, while eigenvalue centrality counts walks of length infinity. Alternative definitions of association are also reasonable. Alpha centrality allows vertices to have an external source of influence. Estrada's subgraph centrality proposes only counting closed paths (triangles, squares, etc.).

Bonacich 指出，如果联想是根据行走来定义的，那么可以根据考虑的行走长度来定义一个集中性家族。 度集中度Degree centrality计算长度为1的行走，特征值集中度Eigenvalue centrality 计算长度为无穷大的行走。关联的其他定义也是合理的。 阿尔法中心性Alpha centrality允许顶点有一个外部影响源。埃斯特拉达的 子图中心性Subgraph centrality 提出只计算封闭路径(三角形、正方形等)。).

The heart of such measures is the observation that powers of the graph's adjacency matrix gives the number of walks of length given by that power. Similarly, the matrix exponential is also closely related to the number of walks of a given length. An initial transformation of the adjacency matrix allows a different definition of the type of walk counted. Under either approach, the centrality of a vertex can be expressed as an infinite sum, either

这些测量方法的核心是这种现象：图中 邻接矩阵的幂给出了由该幂给出的散步长度的数目。同样， 矩阵指数Matrix exponential也与给定长度的行走次数密切相关。邻接矩阵的初始转换允许对步行计数的类型进行不同的定义。无论采用哪种方法，顶点的中心性都可以表示为无穷和

K为步长，A_R是邻接矩阵的转秩，贝达是保证收敛的折扣参数。

Bonacich's family of measures does not transform the adjacency matrix. Alpha centrality replaces the adjacency matrix with its resolvent. Subgraph centrality replaces the adjacency matrix with its trace. A startling conclusion is that regardless of the initial transformation of the adjacency matrix, all such approaches have common limiting behavior. As [math]\displaystyle{ \beta }[/math] approaches zero, the indices converge to degree centrality. As [math]\displaystyle{ \beta }[/math] approaches its maximal value, the indices converge to eigenvalue centrality.

博纳奇的一系列措施并没有改变邻接矩阵。阿尔法集中性用它的解决方案替代了邻接矩阵。子图集中性用它的踪迹取代了邻接矩阵。一个令人吃惊的结论是，不管邻接矩阵最初的转变是什么，所有这些方法都有共同的限制行为。随着贝塔系数趋近于零，指数收敛到度中心性。随着贝塔系数接近其最大值，指数收敛到特征值的中心性。

博弈论中心性Game-theoretic centrality

The common feature of most of the aforementioned standard measures is that they assess the importance of a node by focusing only on the role that a node plays by itself. However, in many applications such an approach is inadequate because of synergies that may occur

Example of game-theoretic centrality

博弈论中心性Game-theoretic centrality的例子

For example, consider the problem of stopping an epidemic. Looking at above image of network, which nodes should we vaccinate? Based on previously described measures, we want to recognize nodes that are the most important in disease spreading. Approaches based only on centralities, that focus on individual features of nodes, may not be good idea. Nodes in the red square, individually cannot stop disease spreading, but considering them as a group, we clearly see that they can stop disease if it has started in nodes [math]\displaystyle{ v_1 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ v_4 }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ v_5 }[/math]. Game-theoretic centralities try to consult described problems and opportunities, using tools from game-theory. The approach proposed in uses the Shapley value. Because of the time-complexity hardness of the Shapley value calculation, most efforts in this domain are driven into implementing new algorithms and methods which rely on a peculiar topology of the network or a special character of the problem. Such an approach may lead to reducing time-complexity from exponential to polynomial.

例如，考虑阻止流行病的问题。看看上面的网络图像，我们应该给哪些节点接种疫苗？基于前面描述的措施，我们希望识别在疾病传播中最重要的节点。仅仅基于中心的方法，即关注节点的个别特性，可能不是一个好主意。红色方块中的节点，单独不能阻止疾病的传播，但把它们作为一个群体来考虑，我们清楚地看到，如果疾病在节点 < math > v _ 1 </math > 、 < math > v _ 4 </math > 和 < math > v _ 5 </math > 中开始，它们就能阻止疾病的传播。 博弈论中心性Game-theoretic centrality试图利用博弈论中的工具来研究所描述的问题和机会。本文提出的方法使用了 Shapley 值。由于 Shapley 值计算的时间复杂性，这一领域的大部分工作都集中在实现新的算法和方法，这些算法和方法依赖于网络的特殊拓扑结构或问题的特殊性质。这种方法可以将时间复杂度从指数级降低到多项式级。

Similarly, the solution concept authority distribution () applies the Shapley-Shubik power index, rather than the Shapley value, to measure the bilateral direct influence between the players. The distribution is indeed a type of engenvector centrality. It is used to sort big data objects in Hu (2020), such as ranking U.S. colleges.

同样， 加权分布概念的解()The solution concept authority distribution () 采用 Shapley-Shubik 幂指数，而不是 Shapley 值来衡量双方之间的直接影响。这种分布确实是一种产生 特征向量中心性Engenvector centrality的类型。它用于对 Hu (2020)中的大数据对象进行排序，比如美国大学排名。

重要限制

Centrality indices have two important limitations, one obvious and the other subtle. The obvious limitation is that a centrality which is optimal for one application is often sub-optimal for a different application. Indeed, if this were not so, we would not need so many different centralities. An illustration of this phenomenon is provided by the Krackhardt kite graph, for which three different notions of centrality give three different choices of the most central vertex.

中心性Centrality指标有两个重要的局限性，一个显而易见，另一个则不易察觉。显而易见的局限性是，对于一个应用最优的中心性对于另一个应用常常是次优的。事实上，如果不是这样，我们就不需要这么多不同的中心性。克拉克哈特风筝图为这一现象提供了一个例证，对于这个图，三个不同的中心性概念给出了三个最中心顶点的不同选择。

The more subtle limitation is the commonly held fallacy that vertex centrality indicates the relative importance of vertices. Centrality indices are explicitly designed to produce a ranking which allows indication of the most important vertices. This they do well, under the limitation just noted. They are not designed to measure the influence of nodes in general. Recently, network physicists have begun developing node influence metrics to address this problem.

更不易察觉的限制是通常会错误地认为顶点中心性表示顶点的相对重要性。中心性指数被明确地设计来产生一个指出最重要顶点的排名。在刚才提到的限制下，他们做得很好。它们通常不用来测量节点的影响力。最近，网络物理学家开始开发节点影响度量Node influence metrics 来解决这个问题。

The error is two-fold. Firstly, a ranking only orders vertices by importance, it does not quantify the difference in importance between different levels of the ranking. This may be mitigated by applying Freeman centralization to the centrality measure in question, which provide some insight to the importance of nodes depending on the differences of their centralization scores. Furthermore, Freeman centralization enables one to compare several networks by comparing their highest centralization scores. This approach, however, is seldom seen in practice.

错误有两方面。首先，一个排名只根据顶点的重要性排序，它并不对节点重要性的不同水平进行量化区分。这可以通过将 弗里曼中心性Freeman centralization'应用到中心性度量来缓解，这种度量可以根据节点的不同中心性得分来判断节点的重要性。此外， 弗里曼中心性Freeman centralization使人们能够通过比较几个网络的最高中心性得分来比较它们。然而，这种方法在实践中很少见到。

Secondly, the features which (correctly) identify the most important vertices in a given network/application do not necessarily generalize to the remaining vertices.

Secondly, the features which (correctly) identify the most important vertices in a given network/application do not necessarily generalize to the remaining vertices.

其次，用以(正确地)识别给定网络/应用中最重要顶点的特征并不一定可推广到其余顶点。

For the majority of other network nodes the rankings may be meaningless. This explains why, for example, only the first few results of a Google image search appear in a reasonable order. The pagerank is a highly unstable measure, showing frequent rank reversals after small adjustments of the jump parameter.

对于大多数其他网络节点，排名可能是没有意义的。这就解释了为什么，例如，只有谷歌图片搜索的前几个结果以合理的顺序出现。 网页排名Pagerank是一个非常不稳定的度量，显示了在跳转参数小的调整之后频繁的秩逆转。

While the failure of centrality indices to generalize to the rest of the network may at first seem counter-intuitive, it follows directly from the above definitions.

虽然中心性指数未能推广到网络的其他部分，乍看起来似乎是违反直觉的，但它直接遵循上述定义。

Complex networks have heterogeneous topology. To the extent that the optimal measure depends on the network structure of the most important vertices, a measure which is optimal for such vertices is sub-optimal for the remainder of the network.

复杂网络具有异构的拓扑结构。由于最佳度量取决于最重要顶点的网络结构，对于这些顶点最优的度量对于网络的其余部分是次优的。

Historically first and conceptually simplest is degree centrality, which is defined as the number of links incident upon a node (i.e., the number of ties that a node has). The degree can be interpreted in terms of the immediate risk of a node for catching whatever is flowing through the network (such as a virus, or some information). In the case of a directed network (where ties have direction), we usually define two separate measures of degree centrality, namely indegree and outdegree. Accordingly, indegree is a count of the number of ties directed to the node and outdegree is the number of ties that the node directs to others. When ties are associated to some positive aspects such as friendship or collaboration, indegree is often interpreted as a form of popularity, and outdegree as gregariousness.

历史上最简单的概念是 度中心性Degree centrality，它定义为一个节点上发生的链接数量(即一个节点拥有的关系数量)。度可以根据节点捕获流经网络的任何东西(例如病毒或某些信息)的直接风险来解释。在有向网络的情况下(其中联系有方向) ，我们通常定义两个独立的度量，即 入度Indegree和 出度 Outdegree。因此， 入度indegree是指向该节点的关系数， 出度outdegree是指该节点指向其他节点的关系数。当关系与一些积极的方面如友谊或合作有关时， 入度Indegree通常被解释为一种形式的受欢迎，而 出度Indegree则被解释为合群。

Let [math]\displaystyle{ v* }[/math] be the node with highest degree centrality in [math]\displaystyle{ G }[/math]. Let [math]\displaystyle{ X:=(Y,Z) }[/math] be the [math]\displaystyle{ |Y| }[/math]-node connected graph that maximizes the following quantity (with [math]\displaystyle{ y* }[/math] being the node with highest degree centrality in [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math]):

< math > h = sum ^ { | y | }{ j = 1}[ c _ d (y *)-c _ d (y _ j)] </math >

Correspondingly, the degree centralization of the graph [math]\displaystyle{ G }[/math] is as follows:

紧密中心性Closeness centrality

Main article: Closeness centrality

In a connected graph, the normalized closeness centrality (or closeness) of a node is the average length of the shortest path between the node and all other nodes in the graph. Thus the more central a node is, the closer it is to all other nodes.

在连通图中，节点的标准 紧密中心性Closeness centrality(或贴近性)是节点与图中所有其他节点之间最短路径的平均长度。因此，一个节点越是中心，它就越接近所有其他节点。

Closeness was defined by Alex Bavelas (1950) as the reciprocal of the farness, that is:

Taking distances from or to all other nodes is irrelevant in undirected graphs, whereas it can produce totally different results in directed graphs (e.g. a website can have a high closeness centrality from outgoing link, but low closeness centrality from incoming links).

Betweenness is a centrality measure of a vertex within a graph (there is also edge betweenness, which is not discussed here). Betweenness centrality quantifies the number of times a node acts as a bridge along the shortest path between two other nodes. It was introduced as a measure for quantifying the control of a human on the communication between other humans in a social network by Linton Freeman In his conception, vertices that have a high probability to occur on a randomly chosen shortest path between two randomly chosen vertices have a high betweenness.

中介性是图中顶点的中心性度量(也有边中介性，这里没有讨论)。 中介中心性Betweenness centrality量化了一个节点沿着其他两个节点之间的最短路径充当桥梁的次数。在林顿 · 弗里曼的概念中，在两个随机选择的顶点之间随机选择的最短路径上出现概率高的顶点具有很高的中介性。

The betweenness of a vertex [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math] in a graph [math]\displaystyle{ G:=(V,E) }[/math] with [math]\displaystyle{ V }[/math] vertices is computed as follows:

The betweenness of a vertex [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math] in a graph [math]\displaystyle{ G:=(V,E) }[/math] with [math]\displaystyle{ V }[/math] vertices is computed as follows:

在一个图 < math > g: = (v，e) </math > 与 < math > v </math > 的顶点之间的距离计算如下:

1. For each pair of vertices (s,t), compute the shortest paths between them.

For each pair of vertices (s,t), compute the shortest paths between them.

1. Sum this fraction over all pairs of vertices (s,t).

Sum this fraction over all pairs of vertices (s,t).

更确切地说，两者之间的关系可以表示为:

[math]\displaystyle{ C_B(v)= \sum_{s \neq v \neq t \in V}\frac{\sigma_{st}(v)}{\sigma_{st}} }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ C_B(v)= \sum_{s \neq v \neq t \in V}\frac{\sigma_{st}(v)}{\sigma_{st}} }[/math]

{ math > c _ b (v) = sum _ { s neq v neq t in v } frac { sigma _ st }(v)}{ sigma _ st } </math >

where [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{st} }[/math] is total number of shortest paths from node [math]\displaystyle{ s }[/math] to node [math]\displaystyle{ t }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{st}(v) }[/math] is the number of those paths that pass through [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math]. The betweenness may be normalised by dividing through the number of pairs of vertices not including v, which for directed graphs is [math]\displaystyle{ (n-1)(n-2) }[/math] and for undirected graphs is [math]\displaystyle{ (n-1)(n-2)/2 }[/math]. For example, in an undirected star graph, the center vertex (which is contained in every possible shortest path) would have a betweenness of [math]\displaystyle{ (n-1)(n-2)/2 }[/math] (1, if normalised) while the leaves (which are contained in no shortest paths) would have a betweenness of 0.

From a calculation aspect, both betweenness and closeness centralities of all vertices in a graph involve calculating the shortest paths between all pairs of vertices on a graph, which requires [math]\displaystyle{ O(V^3) }[/math] time with the Floyd–Warshall algorithm. However, on sparse graphs, Johnson's algorithm may be more efficient, taking [math]\displaystyle{ O(V^2 \log V + V E) }[/math] time. In the case of unweighted graphs the calculations can be done with Brandes' algorithm which takes [math]\displaystyle{ O(V E) }[/math] time. Normally, these algorithms assume that graphs are undirected and connected with the allowance of loops and multiple edges. When specifically dealing with network graphs, often graphs are without loops or multiple edges to maintain simple relationships (where edges represent connections between two people or vertices). In this case, using Brandes' algorithm will divide final centrality scores by 2 to account for each shortest path being counted twice.

从计算的角度来看，图中所有顶点的 中介和紧密中心性Betweenness and Closeness centralities都涉及到计算图中所有顶点对之间的最短路径，这就需要用 Floyd-Warshall 算法计算时间。然而，对于稀疏图，约翰逊算法的效率可能更高，采用 < math > o (v ^ 2 log v + v e) </math > 时间。在不加权图的情况下，可以用 Brandes 的算法进行计算，该算法需要 < math > o (v e) </math > 时间。一般情况下，这些算法假定图是无向的，并且连通图中允许有圈和多条边。当专门处理网络图时，图通常没有环或多条边来维持简单的关系(其中的边表示两个人或顶点之间的联系)。在这种情况下，使用 Brandes 的算法将最终的中心性分数除以2来计算每条被重复计算的最短路径。

特征向量中心性 Eigenvector centrality

Main article: Eigenvector centrality

Eigenvector centrality (also called eigencentrality) is a measure of the influence of a node in a network. It assigns relative scores to all nodes in the network based on the concept that connections to high-scoring nodes contribute more to the score of the node in question than equal connections to low-scoring nodes. Google's PageRank and the Katz centrality are variants of the eigenvector centrality.

特征向量中心性 Eigenvector centrality(也称为特征中心性)是衡量网络中节点影响的一个指标。它将相对得分分配给网络中的所有节点，这是基于这样一个概念: 与得分较高的节点相比，与得分较低的节点相同的连接对所涉及的节点的得分贡献更大。

使用 邻接矩阵The adjacency matrix发现特征中心性 Eigenvector centrality

For a given graph [math]\displaystyle{ G:=(V,E) }[/math] with [math]\displaystyle{ |V| }[/math] number of vertices let [math]\displaystyle{ A = (a_{v,t}) }[/math] be the adjacency matrix, i.e. [math]\displaystyle{ a_{v,t} = 1 }[/math] if vertex [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math] is linked to vertex [math]\displaystyle{ t }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ a_{v,t} = 0 }[/math] otherwise.

[math]\displaystyle{ x_v = \frac{1}{\lambda} \sum_{t \in M(v)}x_t = \frac{1}{\lambda} \sum_{t \in G} a_{v,t}x_t }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{Ax} = {\lambda}\mathbf{x} }[/math]

[ math > mathbf { Ax } = { lambda } mathbf { x } </math >

In general, there will be many different eigenvalues [math]\displaystyle{ \lambda }[/math] for which a non-zero eigenvector solution exists. Since the entries in the adjacency matrix are non-negative, there is a unique largest eigenvalue, which is real and positive, by the Perron–Frobenius theorem. This greatest eigenvalue results in the desired centrality measure. The [math]\displaystyle{ v^{th} }[/math] component of the related eigenvector then gives the relative centrality score of the vertex [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math] in the network. The eigenvector is only defined up to a common factor, so only the ratios of the centralities of the vertices are well defined. To define an absolute score one must normalise the eigenvector, e.g., such that the sum over all vertices is 1 or the total number of vertices n. Power iteration is one of many eigenvalue algorithms that may be used to find this dominant eigenvector. Furthermore, this can be generalized so that the entries in A can be real numbers representing connection strengths, as in a stochastic matrix.

一般情况下，存在许多不同的特征值，对于这些特征值存在一个非零特征向量解。由于邻接矩阵中的条目是非负的，所以由 Perron-弗罗贝尼乌斯定理得出，它有一个实的和正的唯一最大特征值。由这个最大的特征值得出期望的中心性度量。相关特征向量的 < math > v ^ { th } </math > 分量给出了网络中顶点 < math > v </math > 的相对中心性评分。特征向量只定义了一个公共因子，所以只有顶点中心的比例是明确定义的。要定义一个绝对分数，必须对特征向量进行标准化，例如，使所有顶点的和为1或顶点的总数n。此外，这可以通用，使得 a 中的条目可以是表示连接强度的真实数字，就像 随机矩阵Stochastic matrix中一样。

Percolation centrality

渗滤中心性 A slew of centrality measures exist to determine the ‘importance’ of a single node in a complex network. However, these measures quantify the importance of a node in purely topological terms, and the value of the node does not depend on the ‘state’ of the node in any way. It remains constant regardless of network dynamics. This is true even for the weighted betweenness measures. However, a node may very well be centrally located in terms of betweenness centrality or another centrality measure, but may not be ‘centrally’ located in the context of a network in which there is percolation. Percolation of a ‘contagion’ occurs in complex networks in a number of scenarios. For example, viral or bacterial infection can spread over social networks of people, known as contact networks. The spread of disease can also be considered at a higher level of abstraction, by contemplating a network of towns or population centres, connected by road, rail or air links. Computer viruses can spread over computer networks. Rumours or news about business offers and deals can also spread via social networks of people. In all of these scenarios, a ‘contagion’ spreads over the links of a complex network, altering the ‘states’ of the nodes as it spreads, either recoverably or otherwise. For example, in an epidemiological scenario, individuals go from ‘susceptible’ to ‘infected’ state as the infection spreads. The states the individual nodes can take in the above examples could be binary (such as received/not received a piece of news), discrete (susceptible/infected/recovered), or even continuous (such as the proportion of infected people in a town), as the contagion spreads. The common feature in all these scenarios is that the spread of contagion results in the change of node states in networks. Percolation centrality (PC) was proposed with this in mind, which specifically measures the importance of nodes in terms of aiding the percolation through the network. This measure was proposed by Piraveenan et al.

A slew of centrality measures exist to determine the ‘importance’ of a single node in a complex network. However, these measures quantify the importance of a node in purely topological terms, and the value of the node does not depend on the ‘state’ of the node in any way. It remains constant regardless of network dynamics. This is true even for the weighted betweenness measures. However, a node may very well be centrally located in terms of betweenness centrality or another centrality measure, but may not be ‘centrally’ located in the context of a network in which there is percolation. Percolation of a ‘contagion’ occurs in complex networks in a number of scenarios. For example, viral or bacterial infection can spread over social networks of people, known as contact networks. The spread of disease can also be considered at a higher level of abstraction, by contemplating a network of towns or population centres, connected by road, rail or air links. Computer viruses can spread over computer networks. Rumours or news about business offers and deals can also spread via social networks of people. In all of these scenarios, a ‘contagion’ spreads over the links of a complex network, altering the ‘states’ of the nodes as it spreads, either recoverably or otherwise.

在复杂网络中，存在大量的中心性度量来确定单个节点的“重要性”。然而，这些度量单纯从拓扑学的角度来量化节点的重要性，节点的值并不以任何方式依赖于节点的状态。不管网络动态如何，它都保持不变。即使对于加权的两者之间的度量也是如此。然而，一个节点可能很好地位于中间中心性或其他中心性度量的中心位置，但可能不是位于有过滤的网络的上下文中的中心位置。在许多情况下，复杂网络中都会出现“传染”现象。例如，病毒或细菌感染可以通过人们的社交网络传播，也就是所谓的接触网络。还可以在更高的抽象层次上考虑疾病的传播问题，设想通过公路、铁路或空中连接起来的城镇或人口中心网络。计算机病毒可以通过计算机网络传播。关于商业活动和交易的谣言或新闻也可以通过人们的社交网络传播。在所有这些情况下，一种“传染病”在一个复杂网络的链接上传播，随着它的传播，无论是可恢复的还是不可恢复的，都会改变节点的“状态”。例如，在流行病学方案中，随着感染扩散，个人从”易感”状态转变为”受感染”状态。在上面的例子中，随着传染的扩散，每个节点可以采取的状态可以是二进制的(例如接收/没有接收到一条新闻)、离散的(易感/受感染/康复) ，甚至是连续的(例如一个城镇中受感染的人的比例) 。这些情景的共同特点是，传染的扩散导致网络中节点状态的改变。渗滤中心性(PC)就是基于这个思想而提出的，它特别地衡量了节点在协助网络渗滤方面的重要性。这项措施是由 piraveanan 等人提出的。

Percolation centrality is defined for a given node, at a given time, as the proportion of ‘percolated paths’ that go through that node. A ‘percolated path’ is a shortest path between a pair of nodes, where the source node is percolated (e.g., infected). The target node can be percolated or non-percolated, or in a partially percolated state.

The target node can be percolated or non-percolated, or in a partially percolated state.

渗滤中心性定义为在给定时间内一个给定节点的过滤路径的比例。“渗滤路径”是一对节点之间的最短路径，其中源节点被渗滤(例如，被感染)。目标节点可以是过滤的或非过滤的，或处于部分过滤状态。

[math]\displaystyle{ PC^t(v)= \frac{1}{N-2}\sum_{s \neq v \neq r}\frac{\sigma_{sr}(v)}{\sigma_{sr}}\frac{{x^t}_s}{{\sum {[{x^t}_i}]}-{x^t}_v} }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{sr} }[/math] is total number of shortest paths from node [math]\displaystyle{ s }[/math] to node [math]\displaystyle{ r }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{sr}(v) }[/math] is the number of those paths that pass through [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math]. The percolation state of the node [math]\displaystyle{ i }[/math] at time [math]\displaystyle{ t }[/math] is denoted by [math]\displaystyle{ {x^t}_i }[/math] and two special cases are when [math]\displaystyle{ {x^t}_i=0 }[/math] which indicates a non-percolated state at time [math]\displaystyle{ t }[/math] whereas when [math]\displaystyle{ {x^t}_i=1 }[/math] which indicates a fully percolated state at time [math]\displaystyle{ t }[/math]. The values in between indicate partially percolated states ( e.g., in a network of townships, this would be the percentage of people infected in that town).

其中 < math > σ { sr } </math > 是从节点 < math > s </math > 到节点 < math > r </math > 和 < math > sigma { sr }(v) </math > 是通过 < math > v </math > 的路径的总数。在时间 < math > t </math > 时，节点的过滤状态用 < math > { x ^ t } _ i </math > 表示，两个特殊情况是当 < math > { x ^ t } _ i = 0 </math > 表示在时间上是非过滤状态，而当 < math > < x ^ t </math > i = 1 </math > 表示在时间上是完全过滤状态。两者之间的值表示部分过滤状态(例如，在一个城镇网络中，这是该城镇感染者的百分比)。

The attached weights to the percolation paths depend on the percolation levels assigned to the source nodes, based on the premise that the higher the percolation level of a source node is, the more important are the paths that originate from that node. Nodes which lie on shortest paths originating from highly percolated nodes are therefore potentially more important to the percolation. The definition of PC may also be extended to include target node weights as well. Percolation centrality calculations run in [math]\displaystyle{ O(NM) }[/math] time with an efficient implementation adopted from Brandes' fast algorithm and if the calculation needs to consider target nodes weights, the worst case time is [math]\displaystyle{ O(N^3) }[/math].

渗流路径的权重取决于分配给源节点的渗流水平，前提是源节点的渗流水平越高，源节点的路径就越重要。因此，位于源自高渗滤节点的最短路径上的节点可能对渗滤更为重要。PC 的定义也可以扩展到包括目标节点的权重。逾渗中心性计算运行在 < math > o (NM) </math > 时间，采用了 Brandes 快速算法的有效实现，如果计算需要考虑目标节点的权重，最坏情况下时间为 < math > o (n ^ 3) </math > 。

Cross-clique centrality

交叉团中心性 Cross-clique centrality of a single node in a complex graph determines the connectivity of a node to different cliques. A node with high cross-clique connectivity facilitates the propagation of information or disease in a graph. Cliques are subgraphs in which every node is connected to every other node in the clique. The cross-clique connectivity of a node [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math] for a given graph [math]\displaystyle{ G:=(V,E) }[/math] with [math]\displaystyle{ |V| }[/math] vertices and [math]\displaystyle{ |E| }[/math] edges, is defined as [math]\displaystyle{ X(v) }[/math] where [math]\displaystyle{ X(v) }[/math] is the number of cliques to which vertex [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math] belongs. This measure was used in but was first proposed by Everett and Borgatti in 1998 where they called it clique-overlap centrality.

复杂图中单个节点的跨团中心性决定了一个节点与不同团的连通性。具有高度跨团连通性的节点有利于信息或疾病在图中的传播。团是一种子图，团中的每个节点都与团中的其他节点相连。对于一个给定的图 g: = (v，e) </math > 与 < math > | v | </math > 顶点和 < math > | e | </math > 边的交叉团连通性，定义为 < math > x (v) </math > x (v) </math > 其中 < math > x (v) </math > 是 < math > v </math > 所属的顶点团数。这个测度应用日久，但是在1998年由 Everett 和 Borgatti 首次提出，他们称之为派系重叠中心性。

Freeman centralization

弗里曼中心度

The centralization of any network is a measure of how central its most central node is in relation to how central all the other nodes are. Centralization measures then (a) calculate the sum in differences in centrality between the most central node in a network and all other nodes; and (b) divide this quantity by the theoretically largest such sum of differences in any network of the same size. Thus, every centrality measure can have its own centralization measure. Defined formally, if [math]\displaystyle{ C_x(p_i) }[/math] is any centrality measure of point [math]\displaystyle{ i }[/math], if [math]\displaystyle{ C_x(p_*) }[/math] is the largest such measure in the network, and if:

任何网络的集中度都是衡量其最核心的节点相对于其他所有节点的集聚程度的标准。集中度的度量方法是: (a)计算网络中最中心的节点与所有其他节点之间的中心性差异之和; (b)将这个数量除以理论上相同规模的任何网络中这种差异之和的最大值。因此，每个中心性度量都可以有自己的集中性度量。正式定义，如果 < math > c _ x (p _ i) </math > 是点 < math > i </math > 的中心性度量，如果 < math > c _ x (p _ *) </math > 是网络中最大的中心性度量，如果:

Dissimilarity based centrality measures

基于相异性的中心性度量

In the illustrated network, green and red nodes are the most dissimilar because they do not share neighbors between them. So, the green one contributes more to the centrality of the red one than the gray ones, because the red one can access to the blue ones only through the green, and the gray nodes are redundant for the red one, because it can access directly to each gray node without any intermediary.

在图示的网络中，绿色节点和红色节点最不相似，因为它们之间不共享相邻节点。因此，绿色的节点比灰色的节点对中心性的贡献更大，因为红色的节点只能通过绿色访问蓝色的节点，而灰色的节点对于红色的节点是多余的，因为它可以直接访问每个灰色的节点，而不需要任何中介。

In order to obtain better results in the ranking of the nodes of a given network, in are used dissimilarity measures (specific to the theory of classification and data mining) to enrich the centrality measures in complex networks. This is illustrated with eigenvector centrality, calculating the centrality of each node through the solution of the eigenvalue problem

这里 < math > w { ij } = a { ij } d { ij } </math > (coordinate-to-coordinate product)和 < math > d { ij } </math > 是一个任意的不相似矩阵，通过一个双重军事度量来定义，例如，Jaccard 由

1-dfrac { | v ^ { + }(i) cap v ^ { + }(j) | }{ | v ^ { + }(i) cup v ^ { + }(j) | } </math >

Where this measure permits us to quantify the topological contribution (which is why is called contribution centrality) of each node to the centrality of a given node, having more weight/relevance those nodes with greater dissimilarity, since these allow to the given node access to nodes that which themselves can not access directly.

这种度量允许我们量化每个节点对给定节点中心性的拓扑贡献(这就是为什么我们称之为贡献中心性) ，对那些相异性较大的节点有更多的权重/相关性，因为这些节点允许给定的节点访问那些它们自己不能直接访问的节点。

Is noteworthy that [math]\displaystyle{ W }[/math] is non-negative because [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ D }[/math] are non-negative matrices, so we can use the Perron–Frobenius theorem to ensure that the above problem has a unique solution for λ = λ_max with c non-negative, allowing us to infer the centrality of each node in the network. Therefore, the centrality of the i-th node is
