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…

In graph-based applications, a common task is to pinpoint the most important or ``central'' vertex in a (directed or undirected) graph, or rank the vertices of a graph according to their importance. To this end, a plethora of so-called…

In this work, we propose a novel centrality metric, referred to as star centrality, which incorporates information from the closed neighborhood of a node, rather than solely from the node itself, when calculating its topological importance.…
