...In order to reconcile both properties, Watts and Strogatz have introduced the small-world network model (Watts and Strogatz, 1998), which allows to interpolate between regular lowdimensional lattices and random networks, by introducing a certain fraction p of random long-range connections into an…...

...In (Watts and Strogatz, 1998) two main quantities have been considered: the characteristic path length L(p), defined as the number of edges in the shortest path between two vertices, averaged over all pairs of vertices, and the clustering coefficient C(p), defined as follows....

...The Barabási and Albert model (BA) (Barabási and Albert, 1999), has become one of the most famous models for complex heterogeneous networks, and is constructed as follows: starting from a small set of m fully interconnected nodes, new nodes are introduced one by one....
