Subnets of scale-free networks are not scale-free: sampling properties of networks.
Most studies of networks have only looked at small subsets of the true network. Here, we discuss the sampling properties of a network's degree distribution under the most parsimonious sampling scheme. Only if the degree distributions of the network and randomly sampled subnets belong to the same family of probability distributions is it possible to extrapolate from subnet data to properties of ...
متن کاملScale-free networks are ultrasmall.
We study the diameter, or the mean distance between sites, in a scale-free network, having N sites and degree distribution p(k) proportional, variant k(-lambda), i.e., the probability of having k links outgoing from a site. In contrast to the diameter of regular random networks or small-world networks, which is known to be d approximately ln(N, we show, using analytical arguments, that scale-fr...
متن کاملScale-free networks are rare
A central claim in modern network science is that real-world networks are typically “scale free,” meaning that the fraction of nodes with degree k follows a power law, decaying like k−α, often with 2 < α < 3. However, empirical evidence for this belief derives from a relatively small number of real-world networks. We test the universality of scale-free structure by applying state-of-the-art sta...
متن کاملStructural Properties of Scale-Free Networks
Many networks have been reported recently to follow a scale-free degree distribution in which the fraction of sites having k connections follows a power law: P (k) = k . In this chapter we study the structural properties of such networks. We show that the average distance between sites in scale-free networks is much smaller than that in regular random networks, and bears an interesting dependen...
متن کاملExactly 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 ...
