Networks with desired correlations

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We discuss a simple method of constructing correlated random networks, which was recently proposed by M. Bogu~n'a and R. Pastor-Satorras (cond-mat/0306072). The result of this construction procedure is a sparse network whose degree--degree distribution asymptotically approaches a given function at large degrees. We argue that this convergence is possible if the desired function is sufficiently slowly decreasing.
