Structure properties of collaboration network with tunable clustering (Q2656765)

This paper studies structure properties of one-mode collaboration network with tunable clustering. The one-mode collaboration network with tunable clustering is constructed by the following steps. The network model begins with a complete graph with \(m_0=2(n-m)\) nodes. At each time step, a complete graph with m new nodes is added and each new node \(v_i\) for \(i=1,\cdots,m\) can be linked with \(n-m\) old nodes \((\omega_1,\cdots,\omega_{n-m})\) and some neighbours of these nodes, where \(n-m>1\). The probability that \(v_i\) is linked to \(\omega_l\) for \(l=1,\cdots,n-m\) is \(k_{\omega_l}\sum_j k_j\), where \(k_{\omega_l}\) is the degree of old node \(\omega_l\). When the \(m\) new nodes are connected to \(\omega_l\), one neighbour of \(\omega_l\) randomly selected links with each new node. If all neighbors of old node \(\omega_l\) are linked to \(v_i\) for \(i=1,\cdots,m\), the previous preferential attachment process is used. Structural properties studied include degree distribution, clustering coefficient and average path length. Simulations have been performed and illustrated the theoretical results.
