Ranking the spreading influence of nodes in complex networks based on mixing degree centrality and local structure

Abstract: The safety and robustness of the network have attracted the attention of people from all walks of life, and the damage of several key nodes will lead to extremely serious consequences. In this paper, we proposed the clustering H-index mixing (CHM) centrality based on the H- index of the node itself and the relative distance of its neighbors. Starting from the node itself and combining with the topology around the node, the importance of the node and its spreading capability were determined. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we use Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model, monotonicity and resolution as the evaluation standard of experiment. Experimental results in artificial networks and real-world networks show that CHM centrality has excellent performance in identifying node importance and its spreading capability.
