SOC and Complex Networks

摘要: The main thread of this chapter is the power law distribution, which most common mathematical description SOC. We first introduce some important concepts related to SOC, such as scale-free fluctuation and long-range correlation. then discuss mechanism phase transitions extreme events in complex systems. also review key definitions networks, node degree average path length, clustering coefficient betweenness centrality. Special attention paid small-world networks are popular models used for networks. Finally, topics community structures, central identification, structural vulnerability network synchronization covered order investigate relationship between a network’s topology its functionalities.
