Phys. Rev. E 67, 026123 (2003) [5 pages]Critical phenomena in networksReceived 28 April 2002; published 27 February 2003 We develop a phenomenological theory of critical phenomena in networks with an arbitrary distribution of connections P(k). The theory shows that the critical behavior depends in a crucial way on the form of P(k) and differs strongly from the standard mean-field behavior. The critical behavior observed in various networks is analyzed and found to be in agreement with theory. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
