Figure 1From: Long-range degree correlations in complex networks A smaller exemplary complex network. (a) A 5-chain path (bold) between the ego and alter nodes (grey). (b) Degrees of nodes along the path of this 5-chain are labeled by k 0,…,k 5. Using sociology terminology, k 0 is the degree of the “ego” (focal) node, and k 5 is the degree of the “alter” node.Back to article page
