Initial attractiveness

The initial attractiveness is a possible extension of the Barabási–Albert model. The Barabási–Albert model generates scale-free networks where the degree distribution can be described by a pure power law. However, the degree distribution of most real life networks cannot be described by a power law solely. The most common discrepancies regarding the degree distribution found in real networks are the high degree cut-off and the low degree saturation. The inclusion of initial attractiveness in the Barabási–Albert model addresses the low-degree saturation phenomenon.
