Self-similar non-clustered planar graphs as models for complex networks

Abstract: Abstract. In this paper we introduce a family of planar, modular and self-similar graphs which have small-world and scale-free properties. The main parameters of this family are comparable to those of networks associated with complex systems, and therefore the graphs are of interest as mathematical models for these systems. As the clustering coefficient of the graphs is zero, this family is an explicit construction that does not match the usual characterization of hierarchical modular networks, namely that ver… Show more

“…A generalization of these former methods introduces at each iteration a more complex substructure than a single node which is added to the network in a deterministic way. Substructures considered are triangles [11], circles [12] and paths [13].…”

“…Small-world effect (any two vertices in the system can be connected by relatively short paths and local clustering characterizes the tendency of groups of vertices to be all connected to each other) and Scale-free property (vertices degree distribution follow a power-law) are common in most real-life networks(Ref. [6], [7], [9], [18], [21], [22], [23], [29], [30], [31]), transportation systems or social and economic networks and so on. Complex networks with these two characteristics are called small-world scale-free networks.The time sees three steps on studying complex systems and networks.…”
