Measure the similarity of nodes in the complex networks (1502.00780v1)
Published 3 Feb 2015 in cs.SI and physics.soc-ph
Abstract: Measure the similarity of the nodes in the complex networks have interested many researchers to explore it. In this paper, a new method which is based on the degree centrality and the Relative-entropy is proposed to measure the similarity of the nodes in the complex networks. The results in this paper show that, the nodes which have a common structure property always have a high similarity to others nodes. The nodes which have a high influential to others always have a small value of similarity to other nodes and the marginal nodes also have a low similar to other nodes. The results in this paper show that the proposed method is useful and reasonable to measure the similarity of the nodes in the complex networks.
