A hierarchical approach for influential node ranking in complex social networks

作者：

Highlights：

• Identification of influential nodes in complex networks is a significant problem.

• We propose a centrally measure to identify nodes’ location in complex networks.

• Proposed measure is applied to rank the influential nodes.

• Experiments show better results as compared to the state-of-the-art methods.
