Equalizing Closeness Centralities via Edge Additions
Alex Crane, Sorelle A. Friedler, Mihir Patel, Blair D. Sullivan · 2025-05-10 · via cs.SI updates on arXiv.org

Graph modification problems with the goal of optimizing some measure of a given node's network position have a rich history in the algorithms literature. Less commonly explored are modification problems with the goal of equalizing positions, though this class of problems is well-motivated from the perspective of equalizing social capital, i.e., algorithmic fairness. In this work, we study how to add edges to make the closeness centralities of a given pair of nodes more equal. We formalize two versions of this problem: Closeness Ratio Improvement, which aims to maximize the ratio of closeness centralities between two specified nodes, and Closeness Gap Minimization, which aims to minimize the absolute difference of centralities. We show that both problems are $\textsf{NP}$-hard, and for Closeness Ratio Improvement we present a quasilinear-time $\frac{6}{11}$-approximation, complemented by a bicriteria inapproximability bound. In contrast, we show that Closeness Gap Minimization admits no multiplicative approximation unless $\textsf{P} = \textsf{NP}$. We conclude with a discussion of open directions for this style of problem, including several natural generalizations.
