On Heterogeneity of Complex Networks in the Real World

摘要

Although recent studies have made great progress in the research on heterogeneity of complex networks with power-law degree distribution in the real world,they seem to ignore that there may be different types of heterogeneities. Therefore,this paper,from the perspective of power-law degree distribution,suggests a comprehensive analysis taking several coefficients into account to reveal heterogeneity of complex networks in the real world more accurately. We show that there are at least two types of heterogeneities.
