In a Barabási-Albert Model network, there are 6 nodes with degrees k1 = 2, k2 = 4, k3 = 6, k4 = 8, k5 = 10, and k6 = 12. If you add a new node with n = 2 links, what is the probability that this new node will connect to node 3?


A. 1/21

B. 6/21

C. 2/7

D. 5/7

E. None of the above

    Interesting question, but there is no possible simple 6-node network with the given degrees. The theory applies to simple networks (without multiple links between nodes).

In an evolving network following the Barabási-Albert model, there are two nodes - node C with a degree of 15, and node D with a degree of 25. Given the preferential attachment characteristic of the model, how much more likely is a new node to connect to D than to C? A. 0.6 times more likely B. 1.6 times more likely C. 2.5 times more likely D. 1.7 times more likely E. None of the above Original idea by: Olalekan Sadeeq Bello
