Abstract:This paper proposes a new analysis of graph using the concept of electric potential, and also proposes a graph simplification method based on this analysis. Suppose that each node in the weighted-graph has its respective potential value. Furthermore, suppose that the start and terminal nodes in graphs have maximum and zero potentials, respectively. When we let the level of each node be defined as the minimum number of edges/hops from the start node to the node, the proper potential of each level can be estimat… Show more
