چکیده
In this first chapter, we give an introduction to random graphs and complex networks. We discuss examples of realworld networks and their empirical properties, and give a brief introduction to the kinds of models that we investigate in this book. Further, we introduce the notation used throughout the book.

A review of "Random graphs and complex networks" by Hofstad
Overview A random graph is a collection of vertices and edges connecting pairs of them at random based on edge probabilities (Newman et al. 2001; Hatano and Mesbahi 2005). The theory of random graphs was introduced by Erdős and Rényi (1960) to give a probabilistic construction of a graph with large girth and large chromatic number after discovering that, in graph theory, probabilistic methods a...
متن کاملSpectra of "real-world" graphs: beyond the semicircle law.
Many natural and social systems develop complex networks that are usually modeled as random graphs. The eigenvalue spectrum of these graphs provides information about their structural properties. While the semicircle law is known to describe the spectral densities of uncorrelated random graphs, much less is known about the spectra of real-world graphs, describing such complex systems as the Int...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Complex Network Analysis: Models of Random Intersection Graphs
Experimental results show that in large complex networks such as internet or biological networks, there is a tendency to connect elements which have a common neighbor. This tendency in theoretical random graph models is depicted by the asymptotically constant clustering coefficient. Moreover complex networks have power law degree distribution and small diameter (small world phenomena), thus the...
متن کاملGeneration of Random Graphs with Prescribed Degree Sequences
The study of complex networks plays an increasingly important role in science. One common feature of complex networks is that they are large. Probability theory offers a highly effective way to deal with the complexity of networks, and leads us to consider random graphs. Most practical use would require some property constraints on random graphs, usually with given degrees. There are several wa...
متن کاملSynchronization in Random Geometric Graphs
In this paper we study the synchronization properties of random geometric graphs. We show that the onset of synchronization takes place roughly at the same value of the order parameter that a random graph with the same size and average connectivity. However, the dependence of the order parameter with the coupling strength indicates that the fully synchronized state is more easily attained in ra...
