We consider the size and structure of the automorphism groups of a variety of empirical `real-world' networks and find that, in contrast to classical random graph models, many real-world networks are richly symmetric. We relate automorphism…

Scaling laws in ecology, intended both as functional relationships among ecologically-relevant quantities and the probability distributions that characterize their occurrence, have long attracted the interest of empiricists and…

Many real networks have cliques as their constitutional units. Here we present a family of scale-free network model consist of cliques, which is established by a simple recursive algorithm. We investigate the networks both analytically and…

Many real-world networks describe systems in which interactions decay with the distance between nodes. Examples include systems constrained in real space such as transportation and communication networks, as well as systems constrained in…

In this paper we study the small-world network model of Watts and Strogatz, which mimics some aspects of the structure of networks of social interactions. We argue that there is one non-trivial length-scale in the model, analogous to the…

We define the intrinsic scale at which a network begins to reveal its identity as the scale at which subgraphs in the network (created by a random walk) are distinguishable from similar sized subgraphs in a perturbed copy of the network. We…

We use mathematical methods from the theory of tailored random graphs to study systematically the effects of sampling on topological features of large biological signalling networks. Our aim in doing so is to increase our quantitative…

What is the underlying mechanism leading to power-law degree distributions of many natural and artificial networks is still at issue. We consider that scale-free networks emerges from self-organizing process, and such a evolving model is…

Represented as graphs, real networks are intricate combinations of order and disorder. Fixing some of the structural properties of network models to their values observed in real networks, many other properties appear as statistical…

Network sampling is integral to the analysis of social, information, and biological networks. Since many real-world networks are massive in size, continuously evolving, and/or distributed in nature, the network structure is often sampled in…

Network structures are extremely important to the study of political science. Much of the data in its subfields are naturally represented as networks. This includes trade, diplomatic and conflict relationships. The social structure of…

We introduce an evolving network model in which a new node attaches to a randomly selected target node and also to each of its neighbors with probability $p$. The resulting network is sparse for $p<\frac{1}{2}$ and dense (average degree…

In this paper, we analyze the behavior of the global clustering coefficient in scale free graphs. We are especially interested in the case of degree distribution with an infinite variance, since such degree distribution is usually observed…
