Degree difference: a simple measure to characterize structural heterogeneity in complex networks

Abstract Despite the growing interest in characterizing the local geometry leading to the global topology of networks, our understanding of the local structure of complex networks, especially real-world networks, is still incomplete. Here, we analyze a simple, elegant yet underexplored measure, ‘deg...
