Multilayer Degree Centrality

Multilayer degree centrality extends the classic degree centrality measure to networks composed of multiple layers — such as networks representing different types of social ties, communication channels, or relationship contexts simultaneously. It quantifies how many connections a node has across one or all layers, revealing nodes that are influential not just in a single context but across the entire multi-relational structure.
