communicability_centrality

communicability_centrality(G)

Return communicability centrality for each node in G.

Communicability centrality, also called subgraph centrality, of a node is the sum of closed walks of all lengths starting and ending at node .

Parameters :

G: graph :

Returns :

nodes: dictionary :

Dictionary of nodes with communicability centrality as the value.

Raises :

NetworkXError :

If the graph is not undirected and simple.

communicability

Communicability between all pairs of nodes in G.

communicability_centrality

Communicability centrality for each node of G.

Notes

This version of the algorithm computes eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix.

Communicability centrality of a node in G can be found using a spectral decomposition of the adjacency matrix [R121] [R122],

where is an eigenvector of the adjacency matrix of G corresponding corresponding to the eigenvalue .
