Abstract

The Barab\'{a}si-Albert (BA) model is extended to include the concept of local world and the microscopic event of adding edges. With probability pp, we add a new node with mm edges which preferentially link to the nodes presented in the network; with probability 1p1-p, we add mm edges among the present nodes. A node is preferentially selected by its degree to add an edge randomly among its neighbors. Using continuum theory and rate equation method we get the analytical expressions of the power-law degree distribution with exponent γ=3\gamma=3 and the clustering coefficient c(k)k1+cc(k)\sim k^{-1}+c. The analytical expressions are in good agreement with the numerical calculations.
