Abstract
Chapter 3 has addressed a class of Networks known as random networks. Random networks are part of Complex Networks. Although random networks are not necessarily real networks, they provide a model which can be analyzed to predict its behavior under a variety of conditions using established results in probability theory. Random networks also provide a baseline against which other network models can be compared and scaled. This chapter discusses two other classes of complex networks: small world networks and scale-free networks.
