Inspired by empirical studies of networked systems such as the Internet, social networks,
and biological networks, researchers have in recent years developed a variety of techniques …

From the Internet to networks of friendship, disease transmission, and even terrorism, the
concept--and the reality--of networks has come to pervade modern society. But what exactly …

Complex networks are key to describing the connected nature of the society that we live in.
This book, the second of two volumes, describes the local structure of random graph models …

Advances in many fields faced with complex systems, ranging from biology to computer
science, are hindered by the limited understanding of the complex webs that characterize …

In the last decade, structural properties of several naturally arising networks (the Internet,
social networks, the web graph, etc.) have been studied intensively with a view to …

Complex networks such as the World Wide Web, the web of human sexual contacts, or
criminal networks often do not have an engineered architecture but instead are self …

Understanding the complex world around us is a difficult task and simple principles that
capture essential features of complex natural systems are always welcome. One such …

The characterization of the “most connected” nodes in static or slowly evolving complex
networks has helped in understanding and predicting the behavior of social, biological, and …

A basic premise behind the study of large networks is that interaction leads to complex
collective behavior. In our work we found very interesting and counterintuitive patterns for …

We analyze about 200 naturally occurring networks with distinct dynamical origins to
formally test whether the commonly assumed hypothesis of an underlying scale-free …
