Control centrality and hierarchical structure in complex networks. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
We introduce the concept of control centrality to quantify the ability of a single node to control a directed weighted network. We calculate the distribution of control centrality for several real networks and find that it is mainly determined by the ...

Optimizing Electric Motorcycle-Charging Station Locations for Easy Accessibility and Public Benefit: A Case Study in Surakarta

open access: yesWorld Electric Vehicle Journal, 2022
Many benefits follow from the use of Electric Vehicles (EVs) to replace fossil fuel-based vehicles (FVs), i.e., improved transportation energy efficiency, reduced carbon and noise emissions, and the mitigation of tailpipe emissions.

X-index: A novel flow-based locational measure for quantifying centrality

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023
The centrality of a place reflects its relative importance in serving other places, and quantifying centrality is a prerequisite for assessing the urban spatial structure and facilitates policy-making of sustainable urban development.

Assessing Graph Robustness through Modified Zagreb Index

open access: yesAxioms, 2022
Graph robustness or network robustness is the ability that a graph or a network preserves its connectivity or other properties after the loss of vertices and edges, which has been a central problem in the research of complex networks.

FRACTAL INDEX, CENTRAL CHARGE AND FRACTONS [PDF]

open access: yesModern Physics Letters A, 2000
We introduce the notion of fractal index associated with the universal class h of particles or quasiparticles, termed fractons which obey specific fractal statistics. A connection between fractons and conformal field theory (CFT)-quasiparticles is established taking into account the central charge c[ν] and the particle-hole duality ν↔1/ν, for integer ...

A Port Importance Evaluation Method Based on the Projection Pursuit Model in Shipping Networks

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Shipping networks face natural or man-made port emergencies, and the failure of a port affects the network’s connectivity and efficiency. It is very necessary to give priority to the selection of ports that should be maintained or ensure service capacity
