Personal Influence on the Spreading of Information: A Network Based Study

K. Reji Kumar, Shibu Manuel

Abstract

Understanding the ability of nodes in spreading information in complex networks is an important area of research in the study of social network. Usually, a node with higher number of connections and greater interaction weights becomes more important in a network. But, the spreading ability of a node not only depends on degree of the node and weights of its interactions but also on the interest of the person who handle the information. In this paper we proposeanewmethodtodeterminethenodesimportance giving emphasis the mood or interest of the spreaders.

Keywords

Complex networks, Influential nodes, m-Ranking, Personal variations in spreading.
