KatzCentrality

KatzCentrality[g,α]

gives a list of Katz centralities for the vertices in the graph g and weight α.

KatzCentrality[g,α,β]

gives a list of Katz centralities using weight α and initial centralities β.

KatzCentrality[{vw,…},…]

uses rules vw to specify the graph g.

Details and Options

  • KatzCentrality gives a list of centralities that satisfy c=alpha TemplateBox[{a}, Transpose].c+beta, where is the adjacency matrix of g.
  • If β is a scalar, it is taken to mean {β,β,…}.
  • KatzCentrality[g,α] is equivalent to KatzCentrality[g,α,1].
  • The option WorkingPrecision->p can be used to control the precision used in internal computations.
  • KatzCentrality works with undirected graphs, directed graphs, multigraphs, and mixed graphs.

Properties & Relations  (4)

The centrality vector satisfies the equation c=alpha TemplateBox[{a}, Transpose].c+beta:

EigenvectorCentrality is a special case of KatzCentrality:

Take and with the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix:

As , all vertices get the same centrality:

Use VertexIndex to obtain the centrality of a specific vertex:
