| dc.description | In a recent letter (cond-mat/9903108), Barthelemy and Nunes Amaral discuss the crossover phenomenon between regular and ``small-world'' networks, as a function of the network size $n$ and of the disorder $p$. They claim that the average distance $\ell$ between vertices of the network scales with $n / n^*$, with $n^*(p \ll 1) sim p^{-τ}$ and $τ\approx 2/3$. We show analytically that $τ$ cannot be lower than 1 and perform numerical simulations showing that $τ= 1$. | |
