Description

We propose a growing model which interpolates between one-dimensional regular lattice and small-world networks. The model undergoes an interesting phase transition from large to small world. We investigate the structural properties by both theoretical predictions and numerical simulations. Our growing model is a complementarity for the famous static WS network model.
