Abstract: Identifying the important nodes of complex network is always the key point of complex network research, and also the important theoretical basis of network stability determination. The commonly used central indicators to identify the important nodes include the centrality of the betweenness, the centrality of the degree, the centrality of the eigenvector and the centrality of K-core. These indicators have some limitations in identifying the important nodes. In order to solve the above problems, the neighbor node set is divided into two parts: the related neighbor node set (MR) and the unrelated neighbor node set (MUR). Based on the characteristics of graph entropy, a new information entropy NBE and NDE are proposed. Combined with NBE and NDE, new centrality RNC and URNC are proposed. In the experiment, dynamic attack is used to evaluate the efficiency of the new centrality index on one experimental network model and five real networks. By comparison, the new centrality is more efficient than the traditional centrality in identifying important nodes.

Key words: complex network, unrelated neighbor centrality (URNC), related neighbor centrality (RNC)
