We derive several fluctuation-dissipation relations characterizing susceptibilities of different networks to changes in external fields. In the case of networks with a given degree sequence, we argue that the scale-free topologies of real-world networks may arise as a result of self-organization of real systems into sparse structures with low susceptibility to random external perturbations. We also show that the ensembles of networks with noninteracting links (both uncorrelated and with two-point correlations) are equivalent to random networks with hidden variables.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-09-01T19:46:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complex networks", "fluctuation-dissipation relations characterizing susceptibilities", "random external perturbations", "maximum-entropy random networks", "hidden variables" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
