Most of the networks observed in real life obey power-law degree distribution. It is hypothesized that the emergence of such a degree distribution is due to preferential attachment of the nodes. Barabasi-Albert model is a generative…
We study an evolving spatial network in which sequentially arriving vertices are joined to existing vertices at random according to a rule that combines preference according to degree with preference according to spatial proximity. We…
A message passing algorithm is derived for recovering communities within a graph generated by a variation of the Barab\'{a}si-Albert preferential attachment model. The estimator is assumed to know the arrival times, or order of attachment,…
We give a common description of Simon, Barab\'asi--Albert, II-PA and Price growth models, by introducing suitable random graph processes with preferential attachment mechanisms. Through the II-PA model, we prove the conditions for which the…
We propose a model that generates a new class of networks exhibiting power-law degree distribution with a spectrum of exponents depending on the number of links ($m$) with which incoming nodes join the existing network. Unlike the…
Classical graph modeling approaches such as Erd\H{o}s R\'{e}nyi (ER) random graphs or Barab\'asi-Albert (BA) graphs, here referred to as stylized models, aim to reproduce properties of real-world graphs in an interpretable way. While…
We propose a scale-free network model with a tunable power-law exponent. The Poisson growth model, as we call it, is an offshoot of the celebrated model of Barab\'{a}si and Albert where a network is generated iteratively from a small seed…
The scale-free model of Barabasi and Albert gave rise to a burst of activity in the field of complex networks. In this paper, we revisit one of the main assumptions of the model, the preferential attachment rule. We study a model in which…
The network properties of a graph ensemble subject to the constraints imposed by the expected degree sequence are studied. It is found that the linear preferential attachment is a fundamental rule, as it keeps the maximal entropy in sparse…
Through the distinction between ``real'' and ``virtual'' links between the nodes of a graph, we develop a set of simple rules leading to scale-free networks with a tunable degree distribution exponent. Albeit sharing some similarities with…
Scale-free networks are characterized by a degree distribution with power-law behavior and have been shown to arise in many areas, ranging from the World Wide Web to transportation or social networks. Degree distributions of observed…
Preferential attachment graphs are random graphs designed to mimic properties of typical real world networks. They are constructed by a random process that iteratively adds vertices and attaches them preferentially to vertices that already…
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) or likelihood-free inference algorithms are used to find approximations to posterior distributions without making explicit use of the likelihood function, depending instead on simulation of sample data…
In the field of complex networks and graph theory, new results are typically tested on graphs generated by a variety of algorithms such as the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi model or the Barab\'{a}si-Albert model. Unfortunately, most graph generating…
We have analysed some structural properties of scale-free networks with the same degree distribution. Departing from a degree distribution obtained from the Barab\'asi-Albert (BA) algorithm, networks were generated using four additional…
Ever since the Barab\'{a}si-Albert (BA) scale-free network has been proposed, network modeling has been studied intensively in light of the network growth and the preferential attachment (PA). However, numerous real systems are featured…
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…

Barab\'asi-Albert's `Scale Free' model is the starting point for much of the accepted theory of the evolution of real world communication networks. Careful comparison of the theory with a wide range of real world networks, however,…
