Abstract

Contrary to many recent models of growing networks; we present a model with fixed number of nodes and links; where a dynamics favoring the formation of links between nodes with degree of connectivity as different as possible is introduced. By applying a local rewiring move; the network reaches equilibrium states assuming broad degree distributions; which have a power-law form in an intermediate range of the parameters used. Interestingly; in the same range we find nontrivial hierarchical clustering.
