Primes

• Network
  • Mathematics (graph theory) → nodes: vertices → edges: edges / arcs → directed edge: arc / directed arrow → weighted edge: weight function → degree: vertex degree → path: walk / path / trail → cluster: community / block → centrality: centrality measures

    This sourceTheoretical unification of centrality concepts bridging degree, betweenness, and eigenvector approaches.

Domain-specific

• Eigenvector Centrality
  • Bonacich's original account gives the summed-neighbor equation and distinguishes it from his more flexible parameterized centrality family.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
