Abstract

In many natural and social networks, nodes may play different roles or have different functions. In this paper, we propose a simple model with different types of nodes and deterministic selective linking rule. We investigate the structural properties by theoretical predictions. It is found that the given model exhibits a power-law distribution. In addition, we make the model become the weighted network by giving the links the weight and analyze the probability distribution of the node strength.

Keywords: power-law distribution degree distribution clustering coefficient weighted network mean-field method
