Influence of Dynamical Change of Edges on Clustering Coefficients

Abstract EN

Clustering coefficient is a very important measurement in complex networks, and it describes the average ratio between the actual existent edges and probable existent edges in the neighbor of one vertex in a complex network.

Besides, in a complex networks, the dynamic change of edges can trigger directly the evolution of network and further affect the clustering coefficients.

As a result, in this paper, we investigate the effects of the dynamic change of edge on the clustering coefficients.

It is illustrated that the increase and decrease of the clustering coefficient can be effectively controlled by adding or deleting several edges of the network in the evolution of complex networks.
