The study of vertex centrality measures is a key aspect of network analysis. Naturally, such centrality measures have been generalized to groups of vertices; for popular measures it was shown that the problem of finding the most central…
Betweenness is a well-known centrality measure that ranks the nodes of a network according to their participation in shortest paths. Since an exact computation is prohibitive in large networks, several approximation algorithms have been…
We provide a framework for determining the centralities of agents in a broad family of random networks. Current understanding of network centrality is largely restricted to deterministic settings, but practitioners frequently use random…
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…
Computing classical centrality measures such as betweenness and closeness is computationally expensive on large-scale graphs. In this work, we introduce an efficient force layout algorithm that embeds a graph into a low-dimensional space,…
Graphs are used in many disciplines to model the relationships that exist between objects in a complex discrete system. Researchers may wish to compare a network of interest to a "typical" graph from a family (or ensemble) of graphs which…
Random walks over directed graphs are used to model activities in many domains, such as social networks, influence propagation, and Bayesian graphical models. They are often used to compute the importance or centrality of individual nodes…
Betweenness centrality is a graph parameter that has been successfully applied to network analysis. In the context of computer networks, it was considered for various objectives, ranging from routing to service placement. However, as…
There are several applications that benefit from a definition of centrality which is applicable to sets of vertices, rather than individual vertices. However, existing definitions might not be able to help us in answering several network…
Random matrix theory has played an important role in recent work on statistical network analysis. In this paper, we review recent results on regimes of concentration of random graphs around their expectation, showing that dense graphs…
This work deals with the issue of assessing the influence of a node in the entire network and in the subnetwork to which it belongs as well, adapting the classical idea of vertex centrality. We provide a general definition of relative…
The topological structure of complex networks has fascinated researchers for several decades, resulting in the discovery of many universal properties and reoccurring characteristics of different kinds of networks. However, much less is…

In network analysis, a measure of node centrality provides a scale indicating how central a node is within a network. The coreness is a popular notion of centrality that accounts for the maximal smallest degree of a subgraph containing a…

Spanning Centrality is a measure used in network analysis to determine the importance of an edge in a graph based on its contribution to the connectivity of the entire network. Specifically, it quantifies how critical an edge is in terms of…
In this paper, we hope to bring closer graph theory and consensus algorithms. Firstly, we give a brief introduction to graph theory by listing a concise definition. Then we analyze and visualize some commonly used graphs. Secondly, we…
Classic measures of graph centrality capture distinct aspects of node importance, from the local (e.g., degree) to the global (e.g., closeness). Here we exploit the connection between diffusion and geometry to introduce a multiscale…
Betweeness centrality is one of the most important concepts in graph analysis. It was recently extended to link streams, a graph generalization where links arrive over time. However, its computation raises non-trivial issues, due in…
Theoretical computer science plays an important role in the understanding of social networks and their properties. We can model information rippling throughout social networks, or the opinions of social media users for example, using graph…
