New algorithms enhance degree centrality calculation for weighted multilayer networks

Researchers have developed new algorithms for calculating degree centrality in weighted homogeneous multilayer networks (HoMLNs). These algorithms utilize a decoupling framework that analyzes each layer independently, preserving structural and semantic information lost in traditional aggregation methods. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets show that the proposed heuristic-based methods achieve accuracy comparable to ground truth while significantly improving computational efficiency, demonstrating their scalability and effectiveness.

    Degree Centrality Algorithms for Weighted Multilayer Networks (or w-MLNs)

    Centrality measures are defined for simple graphs -- directed, undirected, weighted or unweighted. Attributed graphs have to be reduced to simple graphs for computing centrality measures. However, when applications with multiple types of relationships are modeled using multilayer…
