Rank-dependent deactivation in network evolution.
A rank-dependent deactivation mechanism is introduced to network evolution. The growth dynamics of the network is based on a finite memory of individuals, which is implemented by deactivating one site at each time step. The model shows striking features of a wide range of real-world networks: power-law degree distribution, high clustering coefficient, and disassortative degree correlation.
