Connectivity Alpha indexe: the number of undirected edges; 
v: the number of nodes;  
: the number of nodes directly connected to node i;  
: the number of undirected edges among the nodes directly connected to node i;  
: the shortest path length from node i to node j;  
: the number of shortest paths between node j and node k;  
: the number of shortest paths between node j and node k through node i.
