WattsStrogatznätverk
WattsStrogatznätverk is a type of small-world network model in network theory. It was introduced by Duncan Watts and Steven Strogatz in 1998. This model aims to capture the properties observed in many real-world networks, such as social networks, biological networks, and technological networks. The key characteristic of Watts-Strogatz networks is their balance between regularity and randomness.
The Watts-Strogatz model starts with a regular lattice, where each node is connected to its nearest neighbors.
This rewiring process significantly reduces the average path length between any two nodes in the network. Even
