A new centrality measure based on sub-tree

Abstract

How to evaluate the importance of nodes in networks and detect the centrality has become a vital problem in improving the efficiency of telecommunication and making a disease immunity strategy. We consider the mechanisms of real networks, and define a cost function to describe different hierarchies of networks to measure node importance. This method takes up a node’s regional influence as well as its global influence to evaluate its importance. The results of simulation prove that this method is proper to describe effectively and detect node discrepancies in a network.
