In the 1960s, the social scientist Stanley Milgram performed his famous "small-world" experiments where he found that people in the US who are far apart geographically are nevertheless connected by remarkably short chains of acquaintances.…
Dating back to two famous experiments by the social-psychologist, Stanley Milgram, in the 1960s, the small-world phenomenon is the idea that all people are connected through a short chain of acquaintances that can be used to route messages.…
The algorithmic small-world phenomenon, empirically established by Milgram's letter forwarding experiments from the 60s, was theoretically explained by Kleinberg in 2000. However, from today's perspective his model has several severe…
In order to investigate the routing aspects of small-world networks, Kleinberg proposes a network model based on a $d$-dimensional lattice with long-range links chosen at random according to the $d$-harmonic distribution. Kleinberg shows…
In recent work, Jon Kleinberg considered a small-world network model consisting of a d-dimensional lattice augmented with shortcuts. The probability of a shortcut being present between two points decays as a power of the distance between…
We consider Kleinberg's celebrated small world graph model (Kleinberg, 2000), in which a D-dimensional grid {0,...,n-1}^D is augmented with a constant number of additional unidirectional edges leaving each node. These long range edges are…
A classic experiment by Milgram shows that individuals can route messages along short paths in social networks, given only simple categorical information about recipients (such as "he is a prominent lawyer in Boston" or "she is a Freshman…

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…
Motivated by Kleinberg's (2000) and subsequent work, we consider the performance of greedy routing on a directed ring of $n$ nodes augmented with long-range contacts. In this model, each node $u$ is given an additional $D_u$ edges, a degree…
Small-world networks, which combine randomized and structured elements, are seen as prevalent in nature. Several random graph models have been given for small-world networks, with one of the most fruitful, introduced by Jon Kleinberg,…
We propose a simple preferential attachment model of growing network using the complementary probability of Barab\'asi-Albert (BA) model, i.e., $\Pi(k_i) \propto 1-\frac{k_i}{\sum_j k_j}$. In this network, new nodes are preferentially…
In this article we presented a brief study of the main network models with growth and preferential attachment. Such models are interesting because they present several characteristics of real systems. We started with the classical model…
Navigability of networks, that is the ability to find any given destination vertex starting from any other vertex, is crucial to their usefulness. In 2000 Kleinberg showed that optimal navigability could be achieved in small-world networks…
We perform an empirical study of the preferential attachment phenomenon in temporal networks and show that on the Web, networks follow a nonlinear preferential attachment model in which the exponent depends on the type of network…
One of the key features of small-worlds is the ability to route messages with few hops only using local knowledge of the topology. In 2000, Kleinberg proposed a model based on an augmented grid that asymptotically exhibits such property. In…
By introducing a simple model based on two-dimensional cellular automata, we reveal the relationship between the routing strategies of individual vehicles and the global behavior of transportation networks. Specifically, we characterize the…
Small-world graphs, which combine randomized and structured elements, are seen as prevalent in nature. Jon Kleinberg showed that in some graphs of this type it is possible to route, or navigate, between vertices in few steps even with very…
We introduce the \emph{idemetric} property, which formalises the idea that most nodes in a graph have similar distances between them, and which turns out to be quite standard amongst small-world network models. Modulo reasonable sparsity…
This paper defines the toroidal small world labeling problem that asks for a labeling of the vertices of a network such that the labels possess information that allows a compact routing scheme in the network. We consider the problem over a…
