Random networks are the simplest type of network. By studying random networks, I get to know what aspects of a network are important and how to measure them.
Deviated from the random network, the scale-free network has a power-law degree distribution and seems to be more common in real-world networks. What's the intrinsic mechanism behind it?
In this note we generate a network by adding nodes and links one by one (The Barabási-Albert Model), this mechanism will help to explain hubs and degree distribution in real-world networks.
