Betweenness centrality in large complex networks [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
.We analyze the betweenness centrality (BC) of nodes in large complex networks. In general, the BC is increasing with connectivity as a power law with an exponent ηη\eta. We find that for trees or networks with a small loop density η=2η=2\eta = 2 while a larger density of loops leads to η\textless2η\textless2\eta \textless 2. For scale-free networks characterized by an exponent γγ\gamma which describes the connectivity distribution decay, the BC is also distributed according to a power law with a non universal exponent δδ\delta. We show that this exponent δδ\delta must satisfy the exact bound δ≥(γ+1)/2δ≥(γ+1)/2\delta\geq (\gamma + 1)/2. If the scale free network is a tree, then we have the equality δ=(γ+1)/2δ=(γ+1)/2\delta = (\gamma + 1)/2.
