Return the communicability centrality for each node of G

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

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 between all pairs of nodes in G.

Notes

This version of the algorithm exponentiates the adjacency matrix. The communicability centrality of a node u in G can be found using the matrix exponential of the adjacency matrix of G [R123] [R124],

SC(u)=(e^A)_{uu} .
