Abstract: Centrality is an important measurement of network structure. The node centrality ranking algorithm is to calculate the significant degree of nodes in social networks. An improved algorithm of ranking node centrality is present in this issue. Numerical simulation showed the feasibility and validity of the node centrality ranking algorithm, the convergence of the algorithm is proved by Perron-Frobenius Theorem. Comparing with the previous centrality algorithms, it exhibited more efficiency in computing complexity. Meanwhile, an edge centrality ranking algorithm and its efficiency is discussed too.
