Zhang, Xiaoqin; Yao, Hongxing; Liang, Hongzhen Solve the exponent of scale-free networks making use of Fourier transform. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 1174.42304 J. Yunnan Nation. Univ., Nat. Sci. 16, No. 3, 206-208 (2007). Summary: A notable feature of scale-free networks in complex networks is that their degree distribution has a fat tail. Many scholars have already proved in different ways that the exponent of the majority of scale-free networks is greater than 2; however, there are a fraction of scale-free networks whose exponent is less than 2. In this paper Fourier transform in mathematics is used in solving the power law of these two sorts of scale-free networks respectively.
