A variety of different social, natural, and technological systems can be described by the same mathematical framework. This holds from the Internet to food webs and to boards of company directors. In all these situations a graph of the elements of the system and their interconnections displays a universal feature. There are only few elements with many connections, and many elements with few connections. This book presents the experimental evidence of these 'scale-free networks' and provides students and researchers with a corpus of theoretical results and algorithms to analyse and understand these features. The content of this book and the exposition makes it a clear textbook for beginners, and a reference book for the experts.

Arvustused

The book is written in an easy style and should be readable by undergraduates in physics, theoretical physics, mathematics, and computer science and engineering. * Peter Richmond, Trinity College, Dublin * This is a very important and timely book... I would recommend this book to anyone hoping to learn the key concepts of complex networks science. * Mark Buchanan, Science Writer, Cambridge, UK * The context and exposition make this a useful textbook for beginners, as well as a reference book for experts in a variety of disciplines * CERN Courier *
