Improved centrality indicators to characterize the nodal spreading capability in complex networks
作者：
Highlights：
• We explored various centrality algorithms regarding the nodal spreading capability.
• We propose a novel gravity centrality index named after mixed gravity centrality.
• The spreading capacity of focal node can be better characterized in our mixed gravity centrality.
• Extensive simulation experiments have demonstrated the advantage of the current algorithm.
