Which of the following is not the most common property in social network ?
1.Degree distribution follows scale free.
2.Average shortest path lengths are shorten in connected network.
3.Most of them are directed network.✓ Correct
4.Follows small world property.
Solution
The correct answer is Most of them are directed network..
Key Points
Most social networks are undirected. This means that if person A is connected to person B, person B is also connected to person A, representing mutual relationships.
Directed networks represent relationships where the connection is one-way, such as Twitter where one user can follow another without reciprocation. However, this is less common in general social networks.
Additional Information
Degree distribution follows scale free: In social networks, a few nodes (people) have a very high number of connections (hubs), while most have a few, following a power-law distribution.
Average shortest path lengths are shorter in connected networks: This means that in a well-connected social network, the average number of steps needed to connect any two nodes is relatively small, reflecting the "six degrees of separation" concept.
Follows small world property: Social networks exhibit the small world property, which indicates that most nodes can be reached from every other by a small number of steps.
