This holds from the Internet to food webs and to boards of company directors. In all these situations, a graph of the elements of the system and their interconnections displays a universal feature. There are only a few elements with many connections and many elements with few connections. This book reports the experimental evidence of these ‘Scale-free networks’ and provides students and researchers with a corpus of theoretical results and algorithms to analyse and understand these features. The content of this book and the exposition makes it a clear textbook for beginners and a reference book for experts. date: 2007 date_type: published series: Oxford finance publisher: Oxford University Press place_of_pub: Oxford pages: 323 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-0-19-921151-7 related_url_url: http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199211517.001.0001/acprof-9780199211517?rskey=9OI1xo&result=1&q=Scale-Free%20Networks related_url_type: pub citation: Caldarelli, Guido Scale-free networks : complex webs in nature and technology.
