New Algorithm Identifies Key Network Centers for Improved Efficiency and Connectivity.
The article introduces a new way to measure the importance of groups of connected points in a network. By looking at how many shortest paths pass through just one point in the group, researchers can find the most crucial points in a network. They developed a precise method to calculate this new measure and also created faster ways to estimate it for large networks. The study showed that this new measure can help identify key points in real-world networks and is related to existing methods for group importance.
