On the scale-freeness of random colored substitution networks.

Extending previous results in the literature, random colored substitution networks and degree dimension are defined in this paper. The scale-freeness of these networks is proved by introducing a new definition for degree dimension that is associated with Lyapunov exponents. The random colored substitution network hence turns out to be a simple, powerful and promising model to generate random scale-free networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
