A network is said to show assortative mixing if the nodes in the network that have many connections tend to be connected to other nodes with many connections. We define a measure of assortative mixing for networks and use it to show that…

Mixing patterns in large self-organizing networks, such as the Internet, the World Wide Web, social and biological networks are often characterized by degree-degree {dependencies} between neighbouring nodes. One of the problems with the…

The performance of attractor neural networks has been shown to depend crucially on the heterogeneity of the underlying topology. We take this analysis a step further by examining the effect of degree-degree correlations -- or assortativity…

We study assortative mixing in networks, the tendency for vertices in networks to be connected to other vertices that are like (or unlike) them in some way. We consider mixing according to discrete characteristics such as language or race…

Many social networks exhibit assortative mixing so that the predictions of uncorrelated models might be inadequate. To analyze the role of assortativity we introduce an algorithm which changes correlations in a network and produces…
