On the role of diffusion dynamics on community-aware centrality measures.

ABSTRACT: Theoretical and empirical studies on diffusion models have revealed their versatile applicability across different fields, spanning from sociology and finance to biology and ecology. The presence of a community structure within real-world networks has a substantial impact on how diffusion processes unfold. Key nodes located both within and between these communities play a crucial role in initiating diffusion, and community-aware centrality measures effectively identify these nodes. While numerous diffusion models have been proposed in literature, very few studies investigate the relationship between the diffusive ability of key nodes selected by community-aware centrality measures, the distinct dynamical conditions of various models, and the diverse network topologies.
