In this paper, by both simulations and theoretical predictions we study two and three node (or degree) correlations in random Apollonian network (RAN), which have small-world and scale-free topologies. Using the rate equation approach under the assumption of continuous degree, we first give the analytical solution for two node correlations, expressed by average nearest-neighbor degree (ANND). T...

In this paper, we studied the research areas of Chinese natural science basic research from a point view of complex network. Two research areas are considered to be connected if they appear in one fund proposal. The explicit network of such connections using data from 1999 to 2004 is constructed. The analysis of the real data shows that the degree distribution of the research areas network (RAN...

Ventilation distribution calculation using 4D CT has shown promising potential in several clinical applications. This study evaluated the direct geometric ventilation calculation method, namely the ΔV method, with xenon-enhanced CT (XeCT) ventilation data from four sheep, and compared it with two other published meth-ods, the Jacobian and the Hounsfield unit (HU) methods. Spearman correlation c...

The public transport infrastructure of a city is one of the most important indicators of its economic growth and development. Here we investigate the statistical properties of the public transport network in Shenyang to explore its various properties based on complex network theory. The statistical properties of the public transport system consist of the degree of a node, the average shortest p...

A new complex network model is studied on a Bulletin Board System (BBS) website. The model has as its vertices the identifications registered on the site, and an edge is linked if one article refers to another. Statistical characteristics of this network, such as degree distribution, average shortest-path length, and clustering coefficient are investigated. Centralities of this network includin...

In the context of growing networks, we introduce a simple dynamical model that unifies the generic features of real networks: scale-free distribution of degree and the small-world effect. While the average shortest path length increases logarithmically as in random networks, the clustering coefficient assumes a large value independent of system size. We derive analytical expressions for the clu...
