To this purpose, we take as a key quantity, in the network evolution, the centrality or importance of a vertex as measured by its PageRank. Using a preferential attachment rule and a rewiring procedure based on this quantity, we can reproduce most of the topological properties of the system. date: 2010-07 publication: EPL (Europhysics Letters) volume: 91 number: 1 publisher: Institute of Physics pagerange: 18004 id_number: 10.1209/0295-5075/91/18004 refereed: TRUE issn: 0295-5075 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1209/0295-5075/91/18004 citation: Giammatteo, P. and Donato, Debora and Zlatic, Vinko and Caldarelli, Guido A PageRank-based preferential attachment model for the evolution of the World Wide Web.
