barabasi-albert model
The Barabasi-Albert model is a mathematical model used to explain the growth and evolution of complex networks. It suggests that new nodes in a network are more likely to attach to existing nodes that already have a higher number of connections, commonly known as the "rich get richer" principle. This model captures the emergence of scale-free networks, where a few nodes have a disproportionately large number of connections compared to the majority of nodes.
