14. Small world networks highly clustered, short path lengths
Degree of a node is the number of edges (k) connecting it to other nodes.
High degree nodes have many connections (high k); low degree nodes have few (low k)
P(k) probability of degree k follows a power law
P(k) ≈ Ck – α..
P(k) ≈ Ck – α..
