A large number of complex networks, both natural and artificial, share the presence of highly heterogeneous, scale-free degree distributions. A few mechanisms for the emergence of such patterns have been suggested, optimization not being…
We present a simple mechanism for generating undirected scale-free networks using random walkers, where the network growth is determined by choosing parent vertices by sequential random walks. We show that this mechanism produces scale-free…
In the context of growing networks, we introduce a simple dynamical model that unifies the generic features of real networks: scale-free distribution of degree and the small world effect. While the average shortest path length increases…
We propose a general geometric growth model for pseudofractal scale-free web, which is controlled by two tunable parameters. We derive exactly the main characteristics of the networks: degree distribution, second moment of degree…
We introduce a random bit-string model of post-transcriptional genetic regulation based on sequence matching. The model spontaneously yields a scale free network with power law scaling with $ \gamma=-1$ and also exhibits log-periodic…
Scale-free configuration models are intimately connected to power law Galton-Watson trees. It is known that contact process epidemics can propagate on these trees and therefore these networks with arbitrarily small infection rate, and this…

Complex networks such as the sexual partnership web or the Internet often show a high degree of redundancy and heterogeneity in their connectivity properties. This peculiar connectivity provides an ideal environment for the spreading of…
Many real networks are equipped with short diameters, high clustering, and power-law degree distributions. With preferential attachment and network growth, the model by Barabasi and Albert simultaneously reproduces these properties, and…
In this letter, we investigate the detailed epidemic spreading process in scale-free networks with links' weights that denote familiarity between two individuals and find that spreading velocity reaches a peak quickly then decays in a…
In this paper we introduce a model of spatial network growth in which nodes are placed at randomly selected locations on a unit square in $\mathbb{R}^2$, forming new connections to old nodes subject to the constraint that edges do not…
The Internet, as well as many other networks, has a very complex connectivity recently modeled by the class of scale-free networks. This feature, which appears to be very efficient for a communications network, favors at the same time the…
Recently it has been shown that a large variety of different networks have power-law (scale-free) distributions of connectivities. We investigate the robustness of such a distribution in discrete threshold networks under neutral evolution.…

We study a modified version of a model previously proposed by Jackson and Wolinsky to account for communicating information and allocating goods in socioeconomic networks. In the model, the utility function of each node is given by a…
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…
Hierarchical models of scale free networks are introduced where numbers of nodes in clusters of a given hierarchy are stochastic variables. Our models show periodic oscillations of degree distribution P(k) in the log-log scale. Periods 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 networks present a bounded scale-free behavior with a connectivity cut-off due to physical constraints or a finite network size. We study epidemic dynamics in bounded scale-free networks with soft and hard connectivity cut-offs.…
We study Erd\"{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs with random weights associated with each link. We generate a new ``Supernode network'' by merging all nodes connected by links having weights below the percolation threshold (percolation clusters)…
