A min-cost/max flow formulation for the s-metric normalisation on directed graphs
In the literature of scale-free graphs, the s-Metric (S(G)) aims at quantifying the extent at which a connected, undirected graph G(V;E) is scale free [1]. Moreover, S(G) measures the extent at which G has a hub-like core and is maximized/minimised when high-degree nodes are connected
to high/low degree nodes. Among the family of graphs F(D), which exhibit identical degree sequence, the graph Gmax/Gmin has the maximum/minimum s-Metric, and thus it can be used for the normalisation of the S(G) for every G 2 F(D) [1]. We show that for a given digraph G(V;E), the graph Gmax=Gmin can be derived in polynomial time.

Abstract

In the literature of scale-free graphs, the s-Metric (S(G)) aims at quantifying the extent at which a connected, undirected graph G(V;E) is scale free [1]. Moreover, S(G) measures the extent at which G has a hub-like core and is maximized/minimised when high-degree nodes are connected
to high/low degree nodes. Among the family of graphs F(D), which exhibit identical degree sequence, the graph Gmax/Gmin has the maximum/minimum s-Metric, and thus it can be used for the normalisation of the S(G) for every G 2 F(D) [1]. We show that for a given digraph G(V;E), the graph Gmax=Gmin can be derived in polynomial time.
