Abstract
In the traditional network structure analysis research, it mainly analyzes the characteristics of individuals in the network or the way of connection. However, these studies do not reflect the general phenomenon of social networks, for example, each organization usually includes individuals with different characteristics. Only by fully understanding the characteristics and the original hierarchical structure of the network, can we improve the network security and the management of the network. Therefore, we aim to analyze the overall characteristics of the network and dissect the relationship between the layers of various networks as well as the relationship between individuals in each layer without destroying the network structure. From a new point of view, the network is analyzed by using the characteristics of network matrix structure and some properties of core/periphery structure. We analyze several real networks and verifies the intensity of the core/periphery structure relationship in the network.
