In this paper we theoretically and empirically study the degree and connectivity of the Internet's scale-free topology at the autonomous system (AS) level. The basic features of the scale-free network have influence on the normalization…
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…
Preferential attachment --- by which new nodes attach to existing nodes with probability proportional to the existing nodes' degree --- has become the standard growth model for scale-free networks, where the asymptotic probability of a node…
The Watts-Strogatz algorithm transferring a regular lattice to the small world network is modified by introducing preferential rewiring constrained by connectivity demand. The probability to link to/ unlink form a node is dependent on a…
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)…
Many complex systems--from social and communication networks to biological networks and the Internet--are thought to exhibit scale-free structure. However, prevailing explanations rely on the constant addition of new nodes, an assumption…
We show how scale-free degree distributions can emerge naturally from growing networks by using random walks for selecting vertices for attachment. This result holds for several variants of the walk algorithm and for a wide range of…
We study the diameter, or the mean distance between sites, in a scale-free network, having N sites and degree distribution p(k) ~ k^-a, i.e. the probability of having k links outgoing from a site. In contrast to the diameter of regular…
Many real networks such as the World Wide Web, financial, biological, citation and social networks have a power-law degree distribution. Networks with this feature are also called scale-free. Several models for producing scale-free networks…
We define a statistical ensemble of non-degenerate graphs, i.e. graphs without multiple- and self-connections between nodes. The node degree distribution is arbitrary, but the nodes are assumed to be uncorrelated. This completes our earlier…
We study partition of networks into basins of attraction based on a steepest ascent search for the node of highest degree. Each node is associated with, or "attracted" to its neighbor of maximal degree, as long as the degree is increasing.…
We propose a simple dynamical model that generates networks with power-law degree distributions with the exponent 2 through rewiring only. At each time step, two nodes, i and j, are randomly selected, and one incoming link to i is…
We study the realizability of scale free-networks with a given degree sequence, showing that the fraction of realizable sequences undergoes two first-order transitions at the values 0 and 2 of the power-law exponent. We substantiate this…
A Barab\'asi-Albert scale-free network is constructed whose nodes are the Poisson distributed random points within a unit square and links are the straight line connections among the nodes. The cost function, which is the total wiring…
We offer an example of an network model with a power law degree distribution, P(k) ~ k^{-alpha}, for nodes but which nevertheless has a well-defined geography and a nonzero threshold percolation probability for alpha>2, the range of…
A majority of studied models for scale-free networks have degree distributions with exponents greater than $2$. Real networks, however, can demonstrate essentially more heavy-tailed degree distributions. We explore two models of scale-free…
We consider a growing network in which an incoming node gets attached to the $i^{th}$ existing node with the probability $\Pi_i \propto {k_i}^{\beta}\tau_i^{\alpha}$, where $k_{i}$ is the degree of the $i^{th}$ node and $\tau_i$ its present…
Uncorrelated random scale-free networks are useful null models to check the accuracy an the analytical solutions of dynamical processes defined on complex networks. We propose and analyze a model capable to generate random uncorrelated…
Scale-free networks with moderate edge dependence experience a phase transition between ultrasmall and small world behaviour when the power law exponent passes the critical value of three. Moreover, there are laws of large numbers for the…
We discuss how various models of scale-free complex networks approach their limiting properties when the size N of the network grows. We focus mainly on equilibrated networks and their finite-size degree distributions. Our results show that…
