Historically first and conceptually simplest is degree centrality, which is defined as the number of links incident upon a node i. Closeness centrality measures the speed at which a node can reach all others. For example, centralityg,closeness,cost,c specifies the cost of traversing each edge. For example, if a2,1 10, then g contains an edge from node 2 to node 1 with a weight of 10. The location of each nonzero entry in a specifies an edge for the graph, and the weight of the edge is equal to the value of the entry. Edges contains a variable weight, then those weights are used as the distances along the edges in the graph.
