Abstract: To analyze the structure of social networks, we can use methods of cooperative game theory. One of such methods is based on the calculation of the Myerson values as a measure of the centrality of the vertices in the graph. In this case, the number of paths of a certain length in the subgraphs corresponding to the coalitions is used as the characteristic function. The paper proposes a modification of the Myerson value for the case when the paths in the graph containing cycles are included in the consideration. The effectiveness of this approach is shown on a number of examples.

Keywords: networks, paths with cycles, centrality measure, cooperative game, Myerson value.
