Scale-free networks well done

Well begun, half done.

The phone call comes one evening as you are reviewing an interesting article in the latest issue of the Journal. It's your neighbor, who tells you that his wife Susan is now in braces. You swallow once, wondering why Susan didn't seek your opinion. Evidently, Susan had responded to a mailed advertisement from an orthodontist who practices in a nearby dental group. After a brief examination, Sus...

"Well Done, Considering..."

in February last, the President, Dr. Letitia Fairfield, raised with me some points about the necessity, or even the advisability, of expecting " perfect " work from imbecile children. We had no time then to develop our argument, and it has seemed to me, considering the matter at intervals since, worth while to give form to some ruminatings, and in response to the Editor's request, to address th...

Exactly scale-free scale-free networks

Many complex natural and physical systems exhibit patterns of interconnection that conform, approximately, to a network structure referred to as scale-free. Preferential attachment is one of many algorithms that have been introduced to model the growth and structure of scale-free networks. With so many different models of scale-free networks it is unclear what properties of scale-free networks ...

Deterministic Scale-Free Networks

Scale-free networks are abundant in nature, describing such diverse systems as the world wide web, the web of human sexual contacts, or the chemical network of a cell. All models used to generate a scale-free topology are stochastic, that is they create networks in which the nodes appear to be randomly connected to each other. Here we propose a simple model that generates scale-free networks in...
