Graph-theoretic node importance mining in world city networks: methods and applications

摘要: Purpose This study aims to review the literature on graph-theoretic mining methods for node importance in both static and dynamic world city networks, which is correspondingly categorised by network topologies transmission mechanisms. Design/methodology/approach The authors overview indicators of importance: centrality power. Then, are assessed with relevance, centrality- power-based measurements, heterogeneous fusion other miscellaneous approaches. The latest progress mechanisms also reviewed this involving evolution, immunisation robustness dynamics. Finally, findings analysed future directions field suggested. Findings The method development driven complex application-based problems within a mechanism. Fusion based power, extended graph techniques power has significant role. In conclusion, trends focus power-embedded measurements mechanism-based applications. Originality/value This first systematic from view mining.
