TL;DR
An improved version of the Erdos-Renyi (ER) theory of random networks is proposed to account for the scaling properties of a number of systems, including the link structure of the World Wide Web.
Abstract
Barabasi and Albert (1) propose an improved version of the Erdos-Renyi (ER) theory of random networks to account for the \nscaling properties of a number of systems, including the link structure of the World Wide Web (WWW). The theory they present, however, is inconsistent with empirically observed \nproperties of the Web link structure.

A model based on these two ingredients reproduces the observed stationary scale-free distributions, which indicates that the development of large networks is governed by robust self-organizing phenomena that go beyond the particulars of the individual systems.

A mean-field method is developed to predict the growth dynamics of the individual vertices of the scale-free model, and this is used to calculate analytically the connectivity distribution and the scaling exponents.

It is found that web pages are distributed among sites according to a universal power law: many sites have only a few pages, whereas very few sites have hundreds of thousands of pages.

Evidence that global methylation patterns do not undergo dramatic changes in interspecific hybrids among three orders of placental mammals is presented, indicating that the mechanisms underlying genome evolution may be different in placental mammal and marsupials.
