Networks in life: Scaling properties and eigenvalue spectra

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-10 v1 q-bio

Abstract

We analyse growing networks ranging from collaboration graphs of scientists to the network of similarities defined among the various transcriptional profiles of living cells. For the explicit demonstration of the scale-free nature and hierarchical organization of these graphs, a deterministic construction is also used. We demonstrate the use of determining the eigenvalue spectra of sparse random graph models for the categorization of small measured networks.
