Abstract.In this paper, we analyze the local clustering coefficient of preferential attachment models. A general approach to preferential attachment was introduced in [18], where a wide class of models (PA-class) was defined in terms of constraints that are sufficient for the study of the degree distribution and the clustering coefficient. It was previously shown that the degree distribution in all models of the PA-class follows a power law. Also, the global clustering coefficient was analyzed and a lower bound for the average local clustering coefficient was obtained. We expand the results of [18] by analyzing the local clustering coefficient for the PA-class of models. Namely, we analyze the behavior of C(d) which is the average local clustering for the vertices of degree d.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
