Log-Periodic Oscillations in Degree Distributions of Hierarchical Scale-Free Networks

K. Suchecki, J.A. Holyst

Hierarchical models of scale free networks are introduced where numbers of nodes in clusters of a given hierarchy are stochastic variables. Our models show periodic oscillations of degree distribution P(k) in the log--log scale. Periods and amplitudes of such oscillations depend on network parameters. Numerical simulations are in a good agreement to analytical calculations.
