Question

A paper by Anna Broido and Aaron Clauset claiming that objects with this property “are rare” uses the ICON dataset to classify this property from “super-weak” to “strongest.” Ginestra Biaconi co-developed a model of this property in which it arises from differences in fitness. The mechanism of “preferential attachment,” which is analogous to the Matthew effect, generates this property (15[1])in the Barabasi–Albert model, in which new (*) vertices (10[1])form edges with probability proportional to their partner’s degree. A specific form of this property that corresponds to an index of 1 is obeyed by word (-5[1])frequency tables according to Zipf’s law. (-5[1])The network representing the internet and citation graphs are commonly cited to have this property, (10[1])which corresponds to a line on a log-log (10[1])plot (-5[1])of degree distribution. For 10 points, name this property of networks that look the same no matter how much you zoom (10[1])in or out. ■END■ (0[4])
