Evolution and structure of very large networks has attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this paper we study a possibility to simulate stochastic processes which move edges in a network leading to a scale-free structure. Scale-free networks are characterized by a ''fat-tail" degree di

β¦ Synopsis
By making use of two observing facts for many natural and social networks, i.e., the nodes' diversity, and the disassortative (or assortative) properties for biological and technological (or social) networks, a simple and elegant model with three kinds of nodes and deterministic selective linking rule is proposed in this paper. We show that the given model can successfully capture two generic topological properties of many real networks: they are scale-free and they display a high degree of clustering. In practice, most models proposed to describe the topology of complex networks have difficulty to capture simultaneously these two features.

Recent observations of power-law distributions in the connectivity of complex networks came as a big surprise to researchers steeped in the tradition of random networks. Even more surprising was the discovery that power-law distributions also characterize many biological and social networks. Many at
The representation of complex systems as networks is inappropriate for the study of certain problems. We show several examples of social, biological, ecological and technological systems where the use of complex networks gives very limited information about the structure of the system. Consequently,
