K-Shell Decomposition for Dynamic Complex Networks

Abstract

Abstract—K-shell (or k-core) graph decomposition methods were introduced as a tool for studying the structure of large graphs. K-shell decomposition methods have been recently proposed [1] as a technique for identifying the most influential spreaders in a complex network. Such techniques apply to static networks, whereby the topology does not change over time. In this paper we address the problem of extending such a framework to dynamic networks, whose evolution over time can be characterized through a pattern of contacts among nodes. We propose two methods for ranking nodes, according to generalized k-shell indexes, and compare their ability to identify the most influential spreaders by emulating the diffusion of epidemics using both synthetic as well as real–world contact traces.
