Harmonic centrality In some graph families

JOSE MARI E. ORTEGA and ROLITO G. EBALLE

One of the more recent measures of centrality in

social network analysis is the normalized harmonic

centrality. A variant of the closeness centrality,

harmonic centrality sums the inverse

of the geodesic distances of each node to

other nodes where it is 0 if there is no path from one

node to another.

It is then normalized by dividing it by m-1

where m is the number of nodes of the graph.

In this paper, we present notions regarding

the harmonic centrality of some

important classes of graphs.
