Abstract

Critical node detection is a crucial task in network analysis. In this article a new problem is proposed, the critical node detection in hypergraphs, which are a generalization of the ‘traditional’ graphs. A genetic algorithm is proposed to solve this problem and as an application an inflation dataset is transformed in a hypergraph and critical nodes are obtained. The numerical experiments performed on synthetic benchmarks show the potential of the proposed method.
