A Perspective from the Mathematical and Computational Modeling. ing.cienc. [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.24, pp.83-103. ISSN 1794-9165.  https://doi.org/10.17230/ingciencia.12.24.4.

This work deals with the study and comparison of different strategies for the optimal dismantling of delinquent networks, which aim to opti- mally identify the most relevant individuals in the network. The strategy of greater complexity that we have studied here, is based on the Katz- Bonacich centrality criteria as a measure of influence of the individuals in the network. This results in an NP-hard type of problem, therefore, in order to apply that criteria, we must use heuristic methods which allow us to find approximate solutions. In particular, the methods used in this work are the Monte Carlo and greedy algorithms. We compared their performance against less sophisticated strategies and we were able to find that these algorithms perform relatively better, which contributes to improve our understanding of these approaches. In addition, we discuss a model that was recently introduced, which justify is the use of Katz-Bonacich centrality from the point of view of game theory on networks.
