Özet
Identifying influential nodes in multiplex complex networks have a critical importance to implement in viral marketing and other real-world information diffusion applications. However, selecting suitable influential spreaders in multiplex networks are more complex due to existing multiple layers. Each layer of multiplex networks has its particular importance. Based on this research, an important layer with strong spreaders is a layer positioned in a well-connected neighborhood with more active edges, active critical nodes, the ratio of active nodes and their connections to all possible connections, and the intersection of intralayer communication compared to other layers. In this paper, we have formulated a layer weighting method based on mentioned layer's parameters and proposed an algorithm for mapping and computing the rank of nodes based on their spreading capability in multiplex networks. Thus, the result of layer weighting is used in mapping and compressing centrality vector values to a scalar value for calculating the centrality of nodes in multiplex networks by a coupled set of equations. In addition, based on this new method, the important layer parameters are combined for the first time to utilize in computing the influence of nodes from different layers. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world networks show that the proposed layer weighting and mapping method significantly is effective in detecting high influential spreaders against compared methods. These results validate the specific attention to suitable layer weighting measure for identifying potential spreaders in multiplex network.
