RESIDUAL CLOSENESS AND GENERALIZED CLOSENESS
Chavdar Dangalchev · International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science · 2011
In the last few years a new definition for closeness has been established because of the ability to measure not connected graphs and the possibility to create convenient formulas for calculations. Based on this definition a new, more sensitive measure for network vulnerability is created - residual closeness. The residual closeness utilizes closeness received after the removal of a link or a vertex and its links. In this article some formulas for easy calculation of residual closeness are given. The definition for closeness is generalized and its properties are explored.
