Motivated by the analysis of social networks, we study a model of random networks that has both a given degree distribution and a tunable clustering coefficient. We consider two types of growth processes on these graphs: diffusion and…

The coexistence of sparsity and clustering (non-vanishing average fraction of triangles per node) is one of the few structural features that, irrespective of finer details, are ubiquitously observed across large real-world networks. This…

We develop a theoretical approach to percolation in random clustered networks. We find that, although clustering in scale-free networks can strongly affect some percolation properties, such as the size and the resilience of the giant…

One of the main characteristics of real-world networks is their large clustering. Clustering is one aspect of a more general but much less studied structural organization of networks, i.e. edge multiplicity, defined as the number of…

A fundamental property of complex networks is the tendency for edges to cluster. The extent of the clustering is typically quantified by the clustering coefficient, which is the probability that a length-2 path is closed, i.e., induces a…

Network models with latent geometry have been used successfully in many applications in network science and other disciplines, yet it is usually impossible to tell if a given real network is geometric, meaning if it is a typical element in…

Small-world networks, known for high local clustering and short path lengths, are a fundamental structure in many real-world systems, including social, biological, and technological networks. We apply the theory of (marked) local…

We develop a network in which the natural numbers are the vertices. We use the decomposition of natural numbers by prime numbers to establish the connections. We perform data collapse and show that the degree distribution of these networks…

The community structure of complex networks reveals both their organization and hidden relationships among their constituents. Most community detection methods currently available are not deterministic, and their results typically depend on…

The problem of finding clusters in complex networks has been extensively studied by mathematicians, computer scientists and, more recently, by physicists. Many of the existing algorithms partition a network into clear clusters, without…

Watts and Strogatz [Nature 393, 440 (1998)] have recently introduced a model for disordered networks and reported that, even for very small values of the disorder $p$ in the links, the network behaves as a small-world. Here, we test the…
