Abstract

We propose a novel model for scale-free networks that uses a rank-based selection. The proposed model produces networks according to the rank assigned to each node. It selects a certain number of nodes randomly and makes two evenly-divided groups of selected nodes. It then adds a new link between the two nodes which have the highest rank in each group. By repeating these steps, scale-free networks are generated. In this paper, we show that networks obtained from our model have a scale-free property through a theoretical proof and simulation results. These results indicate that the exponent of the degree distribution is roughly equivalent to 1. We also discuss the difference from the previous models and its applications to real-world networks.
