Systems as different as a genome and the web are best described as networks with complex topology rather than as ordered or random structures. (opens korrents.com)
“Systems as diverse as genetic networks or the world wide web are best described as networks with complex topology.”
-
Large real-world networks share one property: the number of connections per node follows a scale-free power law. (opens korrents.com)
“A common property of many large networks is that the vertex connectivities follow a scale-free power-law distribution.”
-
Scale-free structure follows from just two mechanisms: networks keep adding nodes, and new nodes attach preferentially to well-connected ones. (opens korrents.com)
“This feature is found to be a consequence of the two generic mechanisms that networks expand continuously by the addition of new vertices, and new vertices attach preferentially to already well connected sites.”
