Supernodes
Abstract
In this paper, we present two new concepts related to subgraph counting where the focus is not on the number of subgraphs that are isomorphic to some fixed graph , but on the frequency with which a vertex or an edge belongs to such subgraphs. In particular, we are interested in the case where is a complete graph. These new concepts are termed vertex participation and edge participation respectively. We combine these concepts with that of the rich-club to identify what we call a Super rich-club and rich edge-club. We show that the concept of vertex participation is a generalisation of the rich-club. We present experimental results on randomised Erd\"{o}s R\'{e}nyi and Watts-Strogatz small-world networks. We further demonstrate both concepts on a complex brain network and compare our results to the rich-club of the brain.
