A general conceptual framework for characterizing the ego in a network

作者:

Highlights:

• One particular node in a network, referred to as the ego is considered.

• A conceptual framework for characterizing the ego is developed.

• Using Zipf lists different h-type indices for networks are unified.

• This approach is based on mathematical and logical concepts.

• This leads to a general framework with large applicability.
