In this paper, we propose a general model for collaboration networks. Depending on a single free parameter "{\bf preferential exponent}", this model interpolates between networks with a scale-free and an exponential degree distribution. The…
In contrast to the conventional wisdom that scale-free networks are prone to epidemic propagation, in the paper we present that disease spreading is inhibited in fractal scale-free networks. We first propose a novel network model and show…
Many real-world networks exhibit degree-assortativity, with nodes of similar degree more likely to link to one another. Particularly in social networks, the contribution to the total assortativity varies with degree, featuring a distinctive…
A spatial scale-free network is introduced and studied whose motivation has been originated in the growing Internet as well as the Airport networks. We argue that in these real-world networks a new node necessarily selects one of its…
Preferential attachment models have been widely studied in complex networks, because they can explain the formation of many networks like social networks, citation networks, power grids, and biological networks, to name a few. Motivated by…
Very often, when studying topological or dynamical properties of random scale-free networks, it is tacitly assumed that degree-degree correlations are not present. However, simple constraints, such as the absence of multiple edges and…
It is known that the heterogeneity of scale-free networks helps enhancing the efficiency of trapping processes performed on them. In this paper, we show that transport efficiency is much lower in a fractal scale-free network than in…
We develop and test a rewiring method (originally proposed by Newman) which allows to build random networks having pre-assigned degree distribution and two-point correlations. For the case of scale-free degree distributions, we discretize…
Preferential attachment is a popular model of growing networks. We consider a generalized model with random node removal, and a combination of preferential and random attachment. Using a high-degree expansion of the master equation, we…
In the reaction-diffusion process $A+B \to \varnothing$ on random scale-free (SF) networks with the degree exponent $\gamma$, the particle density decays with time in a power law with an exponent $\alpha$ when initial densities of each…
Extensive studies have been done to understand the principles behind architectures of real networks. Recently, evidences for hierarchical organization in many real networks have also been reported. Here, we present a new hierarchical model…
We propose a simple random process inducing various types of random graphs and the scale free random graphs among others. The model is of a threshold nature and differs from the preferential attachment approach discussed in the literature…
The Asymmetric BA model extends the Barab\'asi-Albert scale-free network model by introducing a parameter $\omega$. As $\omega$ varies, the model transitions through different network structures: an extended lattice at $\omega = -1$, a…
We study the following paradox associated with networks growing according to superlinear preferential attachment: superlinear preference cannot produce scale-free networks in the thermodynamic limit, but there are superlinearly growing…
The concept of network efficiency, recently proposed to characterize the properties of small-world networks, is here used to study the effects of errors and attacks on scale-free networks. Two different kinds of scale-free networks, i.e.…
Deep connections are known to exist between scale-free networks and non-Gibbsian statistics. For example, typical degree distributions at the thermodynamical limit are of the form $P(k) \propto e_q^{-k/\kappa}$, where the $q$-exponential…
Prediction and control of network dynamics are grand-challenge problems in network science. The lack of understanding of fundamental laws driving the dynamics of networks is among the reasons why many practical problems of great…
Real world networks have, for a long time, been modelled by scale-free networks, which have many sparsely connected nodes and a few highly connected ones (the hubs). However, both in society and in biology, a new structure must be…
This article addresses the degree distribution of subnetworks, namely the number of links between the nodes in each subnetwork and the remainder of the structure (cond-mat/0408076). The transformation from a subnetwork-partitioned model to…
The presence of large-scale real-world networks with various architectures has motivated an active research towards a unified understanding of diverse topologies of networks. Such studies have revealed that many networks with the scale-free…
