Abstract:

A double limited and heterogeneous social network was proposed to analyze the structure of social network in China, namely the limited size of the network and in-degree and out-degree of the nodes, and the heterogeneous attributes of the nodes. Compared with the small-world and scale-free network, the double limited and heterogeneous social network can better simulates the real social network. It not only has the overall structure characteristics of the small-world and scale-free network, but also reflects the influence and control of the different types of nodes in the social network at the micro level.

Key words: double limited and heterogeneous, social network, network structure
