Network Topology——Degree-Distribution Theory

The BA model,hierarchical networks,network statistics,degree correlation,etc.were discussed by our group,and a concept of network Markov chains was introduced to the complex networks research community.Under an Markov chain framework,we provided a simple iterative method instead of simulation to compute network degree distribution for a class of growing networks,and from this gave some general criteria for judging whether a set of network generating mechanisms can ensure the existence of the steady-stage degree distribution and whether the steady-stage degree distribution is scale-free.
