Abstract For the directed edge preferential attachment network growth model studied by Bollobás et al. (2003) and Krapivsky and Redner (2001), we prove that the joint distribution of in-degree and out-degree has jointly regularly varying tails. Typically, the marginal tails of the in-degree distribution and the out-degree distribution have different regular variation indices and so the joint regular variation is nonstandard. Only marginal regular variation has been previously established for this distribution in the cases where the marginal tail indices are different.

Growing Network

We propose a simple preferential attachment model of growing network using the complementary probability of Barabási–Albert (BA) model, i.e. [Formula: see text]. In this network, new nodes are preferentially attached to not well connected nodes. Numerical simulations, in perfect agreement with the master equation solution, give an exponential degree distribution. This suggests that the power law degree distribution is a consequence of preferential attachment probability together with “rich get richer” phenomena. We also calculate the average degree of a target node at time t[Formula: see text] and its fluctuations, to have a better view of the microscopic evolution of the network, and we also compare the results with BA model.

This chapter describes models of the growth or formation of networks, with a particular focus on preferential attachment models. It starts with a discussion of the classic preferential attachment model for citation networks introduced by Price, including a complete derivation of the degree distribution in the limit of large network size. Subsequent sections introduce the Barabasi-Albert model and various generalized preferential attachment models, including models with addition or removal of extra nodes or edges and models with nonlinear preferential attachment. Also discussed are node copying models and models in which networks are formed by optimization processes, such as delivery networks or airline networks.

Birth Processes

AbstractThe directed preferential attachment model is revisited. A new exact characterization of the limiting in- and out-degree distribution is given by two independent pure birth processes that are observed at a common exponentially distributed time T (thus creating dependence between in- and out-degree). The characterization gives an explicit form for the joint degree distribution, and this confirms previously derived tail probabilities for the two marginal degree distributions. The new characterization is also used to obtain an explicit expression for tail probabilities in which both degrees are large. A new generalized directed preferential attachment model is then defined and analyzed using similar methods. The two extensions, motivated by empirical evidence, are to allow double-directed (i.e. undirected) edges in the network, and to allow the probability of connecting an ingoing (outgoing) edge to a specified node to also depend on the out-degree (in-degree) of that node.

A random graph evolution mechanism is defined. The evolution studied is a combination of the preferential attachment model and the interaction of four vertices. The asymptotic behaviour of the graph is described. It is proved that the graph exhibits a power law degree distribution; in other words, it is scale-free. It turns out that any exponent in(2,∞)can be achieved. The proofs are based on martingale methods.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of intrinsic strength which is used to describe the node's intrinsic property. Furthermore, we present a single preferential attachment model for the evolution of weighted networks in which the network growth is coupled with dynamical evolution of weights and intrinsic strength. The model yields a nontrivial time evolution of nodes' properties and generalized power law distributions for the weight, strength and degree, as confirmed in many real networks. The numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the analytical expressions.

AbstractWe consider the preferential attachment model with location-based choice introduced by Haslegrave et al. (Random Struct Algorithms 56(3):775–795, 2020) as a model in which condensation phenomena can occur. In this model, each vertex carries an independent and uniformly distributed location. Starting from an initial tree, the model evolves in discrete time. At every time step, a new vertex is added to the tree by selecting r candidate vertices from the graph with replacement according to a sampling probability proportional to these vertices’ degrees. The new vertex then connects to one of the candidates according to a given probability associated to the ranking of their locations. In this paper, we introduce a function that describes the phase transition when condensation can occur. Considering the noncondensation phase, we use stochastic approximation methods to investigate bounds for the (asymptotic) proportion of vertices inside a given interval of a given maximum degree. We use these bounds to observe a power law for the asymptotic degree distribution described by the aforementioned function. Hence, this function fully characterises the properties we are interested in. The power law exponent takes the critical value one at the phase transition between the condensation–noncondensation phase.

Attachment Model

Motivated by the problem of graph structure compression under realistic source models, we study the symmetry behavior of preferential and uniform attachment graphs. These are two dynamic models of network growth in which new nodes attach to a constant number $m$ of existing ones according to some attachment scheme. We prove symmetry results for $m=1$ and $2$, and we conjecture that for $m\geq 3$, both models yield asymmetry with high probability. We provide new empirical evidence in terms of graph defect. We also prove that vertex defects in the uniform attachment model grow at most logarithmically with graph size, then use this to prove a weak asymmetry result for all values of $m$ in the uniform attachment model. Finally, we introduce a natural variation of the two models that incorporates preference of new nodes for nodes of a similar age, and we show that the change introduces symmetry for all values of $m$.

In this paper we provide numerical evidence of the richer behavior of the connectivity degrees in heterogeneous preferential attachment networks in comparison to their homogeneous counterparts. We analyze the degree distribution in the threshold model, a preferential attachment model where the affinity between node states biases the attachment probabilities of links. We show that the degree densities exhibit a power-law multiscaling which points to a signature of heterogeneity in preferential attachment networks. This translates into a power-law scaling in the degree distribution, whose exponent depends on the specific form of heterogeneity in the attachment mechanism.

AbstractUsing the headers of scientific papers, we have built multilayer networks of entities involved in research namely: authors, laboratories, and institutions. We have analyzed some properties of such networks built from data extracted from the HAL archives and found that the network at each layer is a small-world network with power law distribution. In order to simulate such co-publication network, we propose a multilayer network generation model based on the formation of cliques at each layer and the affiliation of each new node to the higher layers. The clique is built from new and existing nodes selected using preferential attachment. We also show that, the degree distribution of generated layers follows a power law. From the simulations of our model, we show that the generated multilayer networks reproduce the studied properties of co-publication networks.
