Even more surprising was the discovery that power-law distributions also characterize many biological and social networks. Many at

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 ru
