Talk:Complex network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just want to mention that maybe the title Complex Networks is more proper than Complex network.

assortativity hyp. link is shoving to the article about assortative mating in biology. This two thigns dont have anything in common except name therfore I will move this hyper link. If I find a time I'll write an article about assortative mixing!

[edit] copy edit 20061218

Changes include:

• replaced ambiguous "real world" terminology with specific examples and links
• copy edit for tone, clarity, redundancy and continuity
• separate out content made redundant by copy edit and move to central article
• temp link for "hierarchy" until a more specific network-theoretic one is created
• temp link for "clustering" until a more specific network-theoretic one is created
• wikify and link related content

Any comments or feedback? Thanks! dr.ef.tymac 16:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Random Networks not complex?

I don't agree with classifying random networks as non-complex or simple. And the literature on the subject doesn't either. Indeed, just as an example, the main reference on the topic, the review by Albert and Barabási in Rev. Mod. Phys. vol. 74, 2002, includes random graphs as the first example of complex networks. These networks are indeed complex in the sense that any process taking place on them would be embedded in an extremely complex topology, and thus in great contrast with lattices, which even when they might be high dimensional, they would still be regular.
