The Barab\'{a}si-Albert (BA) model is extended to include the concept of local world and the microscopic event of adding edges. With probability $p$, we add a new node with $m$ edges which preferentially link to the nodes presented in the…
In this letter, we proposed an ungrowing scale-free network model, wherein the total number of nodes is fixed and the evolution of network structure is driven by a rewiring process only. In spite of the idiographic form of $G$, by using a…
It has been shown that many networks associated with complex systems are small-world (they have both a large local clustering coefficient and a small diameter) and they are also scale-free (the degrees are distributed according to a power…
Many networks are characterized by highly heterogeneous distributions of links, which are called scale-free networks and the degree distributions follow $p(k)\sim ck^{-\alpha}$. We study the robustness of scale-free networks to random…
The scale-free (SF) structure that commonly appears in many complex networks is one of the hot topics related to social, biological, and information sciences. The self-organized generation mechanisms are expected to be useful for efficient…
It is generally accepted that scale-free networks is prone to epidemic spreading allowing the onset of large epidemics whatever the spreading rate of the infection. In the paper, we show that disease propagation may be suppressed in…
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…
Many real networks are complex and have power-law vertex degree distribution, short diameter, and high clustering. We analyze the network model based on thresholding of the summed vertex weights, which belongs to the class of networks…
The impact of inhomogeneous arrangement of nodes in space on network organization cannot be neglected in most of real-world scale-free networks. Here, we wish to suggest a model for a geographical network with nodes embedded in a fractal…
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…
We formulate a simple edge generation rule based on an inverse like mass action principle for random graphs over a structured vertex set. We show that under very weak assumptions on the structure generating distribution we obtain a scale…
Vaccination is an important measure available for preventing or reducing the spread of infectious diseases. In this paper, an epidemic model including susceptible, infected, and imperfectly vaccinated compartments is studied on…
We study the traffic-driven epidemic spreading on scale-free networks with tunable degree distribution. The heterogeneity of networks is controlled by the exponent $\gamma$ of power-law degree distribution. It is found that the epidemic…
In this article, we proposed a susceptible-infected model with identical infectivity, in which, at every time step, each node can only contact a constant number of neighbors. We implemented this model on scale-free networks, and found that…
We show that the connectivity distributions $P(k,t)$ of scale-free growing networks ($t$ is the network size) have the generic scale -- the cut-off at $k_{cut} \sim t^\beta$. The scaling exponent $\beta$ is related to the exponent $\gamma$…
In this paper, we introduce a modified epidemic model on regular and scale-free networks respectively. We consider the birth rate $\delta$, cure rate $\gamma$, infection rate $\lambda$, $\alpha$ from the infectious disease, and death rate…
Generally, the threshold of percolation in complex networks depends on the underlying structural characterization. However, what topological property plays a predominant role is still unknown, despite the speculation of some authors that…
We consider local leaders in random uncorrelated networks, i.e. nodes whose degree is higher or equal than the degree of all of their neighbors. An analytical expression is found for the probability of a node of degree $k$ to be a local…
While the emergence of a power law degree distribution in complex networks is intriguing, the degree exponent is not universal. Here we show that the betweenness centrality displays a power-law distribution with an exponent \eta which is…
A new mechanism leading to scale-free networks is proposed in this letter. It is shown that in many cases of interest, the connectivity power-law behavior is neither related to dynamical properties nor to preferential attachment. Instead,…
