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…

I start by reviewing some basic properties of random graphs. I then consider the role of random walks in complex networks and show how they may be used to explain why so many long tailed distributions are found in real data sets. The key…

Complex networks as the World Wide Web, the web of human sexual contacts or criminal networks often do not have an engineered architecture but instead are self-organized by the actions of a large number of individuals. From these local…

We give exact relations which are valid for small-world networks (SWN's) with a general `degree distribution', i.e the distribution of nearest-neighbor connections. For the original SWN model, we illustrate how these exact relations can be…

Topology of exponential and scale-free trees and simple graphs is investigated numerically. The numbers of the nearest neighbors, the next-nearest neighbors, the next-next-nearest neighbors, the 4-th and the 5-th neighbors are calculated.…

In this paper, we use a partition of the links of a network in order to uncover its community structure. This approach allows for communities to overlap at nodes, so that nodes may be in more than one community. We do this by making a node…

We study the growth of random networks under a constraint that the diameter, defined as the average shortest path length between all nodes, remains approximately constant. We show that if the graph maintains the form of its degree…
