network size
RR j = relational reputation of node ' j ' (where 0 < RR j < 1)
RT ji = ef ective relational trust relation of node ' j ' with node ' i ' (1 = activated; 0 = not
activated)
WR i = node's weight in terms of relational trust centrality (where 0 < WR i < 1)
network size = total number of nodes.
