subgraph_centrality_exp(G)[source]¶

Returns the subgraph centrality for each node of G.

Subgraph centrality of a node n is the sum of weighted closed walks of all lengths starting and ending at node n. The weights decrease with path length. Each closed walk is associated with a connected subgraph (1).

Parameters: G (graph)
Returns: nodes – Dictionary of nodes with subgraph centrality as the value.
Return type: dictionary
Raises: NetworkXError – If the graph is not undirected and simple.

Notes

This version of the algorithm exponentiates the adjacency matrix.

The subgraph centrality of a node u in G can be found using the matrix exponential of the adjacency matrix of G 1,

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