Communication Network Dynamic Role Analysis Based on Weighted Directed Topological Potential

摘要

Role analysis is a very important branch of complex network research, which tries to identify the node types with similar structures or functions. By extending the concept of topological potential, a role identification and analysis method based on weighted directed topological potentials in connection with node "mass" (i.e. node own attribute) was introduced in this paper. Broke through the limitations of static network role analysis and proposed a new method based on the change of nodes in time series. Its effectiveness was well verified by the experimental results on an IP communication network.
