Abstract

The paper investigates a model for social network based on a growing network. The model we propose can fit the following two basic properties: (1) 'scale-free property' which has power law degree distribution, and (2) 'small-world property' which has high clustering coefficient. In addition, the model is modified for high hub connectivity which is a new concept in scale-free network. This study also provided an analysis of empirical data.
