Policy and Complex Systems
We then simplify the network ( Figure 3 ) by pruning the links having the quantity attribute less than or equal to a given value ( 4 in this case ).
Figure 3
We then report the same network ( Figure 4 ) shown in a circle to better identify the system of the links and to calculate the betweenness measure for each node ;
immediately we can discover the key nodes of the network in a specific run of the simulation . 5
