We show that the degree distribution and the degree-degree correlation alone are not sufficient to describe diverse percolation critical phenomena. This suggests that a genuine structural correlation is an essential ingredient in characterizing networks. As a signature of the correlation we investigate a scaling behavior in $M_N(h)$, the number of finite loops of size $h$, with respect to a network size $N$. We find that networks, whose degree distributions are not too broad, fall into two classes exhibiting $M_N(h)\\sim ({constant})$ and $M_N(h) \\sim (\\ln N)^\\psi$, respectively. This classification coincides with the one according to the percolation critical phenomena.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-08-14T06:35:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "89.75.Hc", "05.10.-a", "05.50.+q" ], "keywords": [ "loop statistics", "degree distribution", "complex networks display", "diverse percolation critical phenomena", "genuine structural correlation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "European Physical Journal B", "year": 2008, "month": "Nov", "volume": 66, "number": 2, "pages": 251 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008EPJB...66..251N" } } }
