A Unified Framework for Complex Networks with Degree Trichotomy Based on Markov Chains

Abstract This paper establishes a Markov chain model as a unified framework for describing the evolution processes in complex networks. The unique feature of the proposed model is its capability in addressing the formation mechanism that can reflect the “trichotomy” observed in degree distributions,...
