This paper proposes a new node centrality measurement in a weighted network, the communication centrality, which is inspired by Hirsch’s h-index. We investigated the properties of the communication centrality, and proved that the distribution of the communication centrality has the power-law...

This paper proposes a new node centrality measurement index (c-index) and its derivative indexes (iterative c-index and cg-index) to measure the collaboration competence of a node in a weighted network. We prove that c-index observe the power law distribution in the weighted scale-free network....
