Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
With the rapid development of information technology, the scale of complex networks is increasing, which makes the spread of diseases and rumors harder to control. Identifying the influential nodes effectively and accurately is critical to predict and control the network system pertinently. Some existing influential nodes detection algorithms do not consider the impact of edges, resulting in the algorithm effect deviating from the expected. Some consider the global structure of the network, resulting in high computational complexity. To solve the above problems, based on the information entropy theory, we propose an influential nodes evaluation algorithm based on the entropy and the weight distribution of the edges connecting it to calculate the difference of edge weights and the influence of edge weights on neighbor nodes. We select eight real-world networks to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the algorithm. We verify the infection size of each node and top-10 nodes according to the ranking results by the SIR model. Otherwise, the Kendall tau coefficient is used to examine the consistency of our algorithm with the SIR model. Based on the above experiments, the performance of the LENC algorithm is verified.
