A multi-attribute method for ranking influential nodes in complex networks.

Calculating the importance of influential nodes and ranking them based on their diffusion power is one of the open issues and critical research fields in complex networks. It is essential to identify an attribute that can compute and rank the diffusion power of nodes with high accuracy, despite the plurality of nodes and many relationships between them. Most methods presented only use one structural attribute to capture the influence of individuals, which is not entirely accurate in most networks.
