Scale-free_network_sample.svg


Summary

Description
English: Depiction of a random network and a scale-free network, both having 32 nodes and 32 links. The degree distribution of the network on the left is such that most nodes have a similar number of links. In contrast, the network on the right has nodes that have a degree that is much larger than the others. Note that both examples were chosen to be connected and to look nice on the plane, so they are not actually random.
