A network is any collection of things linked together by connections of
some sort. The Internet is
a collection of computers linked by
communication lines, while an ecosystem consists of species
linked by
relationships of predator and prey.In
recent years
study of networks has been playing a major role in social and
biological sciences.
I would like you to present a small review of the subject.
Particularly address the following points :
(i) What are networks ?
(ii) Different Kind of networks and their xamples
(iii) Why growing networks are scale-free ?
(iv) How to generate SF networks ?
