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 define a dynamic model of random networks, where new vertices are connected to old ones with a probability proportional to a sublinear function of their degree. We first give a strong limit law for the empirical degree distribution, and…
In this paper, a simply rule that generates scale-free networks with very large clustering coefficient and very small average distance is presented. These networks are called {\bf Multistage Random Growing Networks}(MRGN) as the adding…
The degree distributions of many real world networks follow power-laws whose exponents tend to fall between two and three. Within the framework of the Barabasi-Albert model (BA model), we explain this empirical observation by a simple fact.…
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…
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 investigate choice-driven network growth. In this model, nodes are added one by one according to the following procedure: for each addition event a set of target nodes is selected, each according to linear preferential attachment, and a…
Many networks exhibit scale free behavior where their degree distribution obeys a power law for large vertex degrees. Models constructed to explain this phenomena have relied on preferential attachment where the networks grow by the…
We study scale free simple graphs with an exponent of the degree distribution $\gamma$ less than two. Generically one expects such extremely skewed networks -- which occur very frequently in systems of virtually or logically connected units…
Network growth is currently explained through mechanisms that rely on node prestige measures, such as degree or fitness. In many real networks those who create and connect nodes do not know the prestige values of existing nodes, but only…
Many real-world scale-free networks, such as neural networks and online communication networks, consist of a fixed number of nodes but exhibit dynamic edge fluctuations. However, traditional models frequently overlook scenarios where the…
Several studies on real complex networks from different fields as biology, economy, or sociology have shown that the degree of nodes (number of edges connected to each node) follows a scale-free power-law distribution like $P(k)\approx…
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…
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…
We study the importance of local structural properties in networks which have been evolved for a power-law scaling in their Laplacian spectrum. To this end, the degree distribution, two-point degree correlations, and degree-dependent…
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…
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…
A random network is grown by introducing at unit rate randomly selected nodes on the Euclidean space. A node is randomly connected to its $i$-th predecessor of degree $k_i$ with a directed link of length $\ell$ using a probability…
Recently there have been a tremendous interest in models of networks with a power-law distribution of degree -- so called "scale-free networks." It has been observed that such networks, normally, have extremely short path-lengths, scaling…
In this paper we describe the emergence of scale-free degree distributions from statistical mechanics principles. We define an energy associated to a degree sequence as the logarithm of the number of indistinguishable simple networks it is…
