Lobby index in networks
arXiv:0809.0514 · doi:10.1016/j.physa.2009.02.013
Abstract
We propose a new node centrality measure in networks, the lobby index, which is inspired by Hirsch's h-index. It is shown that in scale free networks the l-index has power tail with exponent square of the exponent of the degree distribution one. Properties of the l-index and extensions are discussed.
The revised version eliminates a calculation error in the distribution of the l-index and its consequences in the exponent estimates
