Explaining the emergence of complex networks through log-normal fitness in a Euclidean node similarity space

Abstract Networks of disparate phenomena—be it the global ecology, human social institutions, within the human brain, or in micro-scale protein interactions—exhibit broadly consistent architectural features. To explain this, we propose a new theory where link probability is modelled by a log-normal...
