Assortativity in Generalized Preferential Attachment Models

In this paper, we analyze assortativity of preferential attachment models. We deal with a wide class of preferential attachment models (PA-class). It was previously shown that the degree distribution in all models of the PA-class follows a power law. Also, the global and the average local clustering coefficients were analyzed. We expand these results by analyzing the assortativity property of the PA-class of models. Namely, we analyze the behavior of \(d_{nn}(d)\) which is the average degree of a neighbor of a vertex of degree \(d\).
