We present a scaling theory for network growth models that accurately capture real-world network properties like clustering. Our findings show clustering decreases with node degree, matching simulations and real network data.

Area of Science:

  • Network science
  • Statistical physics
  • Complex systems

Background:

  • Real-world networks like the WWW exhibit high clustering, small-world properties, and scale-free behavior.
  • Existing network growth models, such as Barabási-Albert preferential attachment, need modifications to fully capture these characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a scaling theory for generalized preferential attachment network growth models.
  • To derive and solve the mean-field rate equation for clustering in these models.
  • To validate theoretical predictions against simulation data and real network properties.

Main Methods:

  • Formulating a generalized preferential attachment model.
  • Developing a mean-field rate equation to describe network clustering.

  • Solving the rate equation for a specific model case.
  • Comparing theoretical results with agent-based network simulations.

    • Main Results:

    • A scaling theory is presented for generalized preferential attachment network growth.
    • The mean-field rate equation for clustering is derived and solved.
    • A power-law relationship for clustering is found: C(k) ~ 1/k, where k is the node degree.
    • The theoretical exponent for clustering (1/k) aligns with simulation results.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed scaling theory and mean-field approach effectively describe the behavior of generalized network growth models.
    • The derived clustering exponent C(k) ~ 1/k accurately reflects clustering patterns observed in many real-world networks.
    • This work provides a theoretical framework for understanding clustering in complex, evolving networks.
