We show that this mechanism produces scale-free networks with degree exponent gamma=3 and clustering coefficients depending on random walk length. The mechanism can be interpreted in terms of preferential attachment without explicit knowledge of node degrees.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-04-05T07:27:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random walkers", "mechanism produces scale-free networks", "sequential random walks", "random walk length" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
