Abstract

The paper is devoted to the effective information spreading in random complex networks. Our objective is to elect leader nodes or communities of the network, which may spread the content among all nodes faster. We consider a well-known SPREAD algorithm by Mosk-Aoyama and Shah (2006), which provides the spreading and the growth of the node set possessing the information. Assuming that all nodes have asynchronous clocks, the next node is chosen uniformly among nodes of the network by the global clock tick according to a Poisson process. The extremal index measures the clustering tendency of high threshold exceedances. The node extremal index shows the ability to attract highly ranked nodes in the node orbit. Considering a closeness centrality as a measure of a node’s leadership, we find the relation between its extremal index and the minimal spreading time.

The reported study was partly funded by RFBR, project number 19-01-00090 (recipient N. M. Markovich, conceptualization, mathematical model development, methodology development; recipient M. S. Ryzhov, numerical analysis, validation.
