Topological centrality indicators and their classification.

Indicator typeSymbolsDescription

Adjacency importanceThe node importance is evaluated based on the number of neighbors in the neighborhood of the pair of nodes.
Network topology locationNode importance is evaluated based on the location of the node in the network, i.e., how far it is from the center of the topology.
Path centralityThe importance of nodes is evaluated based on the shortest path information in the network.
Mutual information volumeNode importance is evaluated based on the amount of information about the interactions between nodes.
