Scale-free networks as preasymptotic regimes of superlinear preferential attachment
Scale-free networks as preasymptotic regimes of superlinear preferential attachment
We study the following paradox associated with networks growing according to superlinear preferential attachment: superlinear preference cannot produce scale-free networks in the thermodynamic limit, but there are superlinearly growing network models that perfectly match the structure of some real scale-free networks, such as the Internet. We obtain an analytic solution, …
