Maximal planar networks with large clustering coefficient and power-law degree distribution
Maximal planar networks with large clustering coefficient and power-law degree distribution
In this article, we propose a simple rule that generates scale-free networks with very large clustering coefficient and very small average distance. These networks are called random Apollonian networks (RANs) as they can be considered as a variation of Apollonian networks. We obtain the analytic results of power-law exponent $\ensuremath{\gamma}=3$ …
