communicability_centrality_exp¶

communicability_centrality_exp(G)¶

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

Communicability between all pairs of nodes in G.

communicability_centrality

Communicability centrality for each node of 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 [R177] [R178],

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