For decades, centrality has been one of the most studied concepts in the case of complex networks. It addresses the problem of identification of the most influential nodes in the network. Despite the large number of the proposed methods for measuring centrality, each method takes different characteristics of the networks into account while identifying the “vital” nodes, and for the same reason, each has its advantages and drawbacks. To resolve this problem, the TOPSIS method combined with relative entropy can be used. Several of the already existing centrality measures have been developed to be effective in the case of static networks, however, there is an ever-increasing interest to determine crucial nodes in dynamic networks. In this paper, we are investigating the performance of a new method that identifies influential nodes based on relative entropy, in the case of dynamic networks. To classify the effectiveness, the Suspected-Infected model is used as an information diffusion process. We are investigating the average infection capacity of ranked nodes, the Time-Constrained Coverage as well as the Cover Time.

Mycobacteriophage R1 was originally isolated from a lysogenic culture of M. butyricum. The virus was propagated on a leucine-requiring derivative of M. smegmatis, 607 leu−, isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of typestrain ATCC 607. Growth was accomplished in a minimal medium containing glycerol and glucose as carbon source and enriched by the addition of 80 μg/ ml L-leucine. Bacteria in early logarithmic growth phase were infected with virus at a multiplicity of 5, and incubated with aeration for 8 hours. The partially lysed suspension was diluted 1:10 in growth medium and incubated for a further 8 hours. This permitted stationary phase cells to re-enter logarithmic growth and resulted in complete lysis of the culture.
