Abstract
The fractal and self-similarity properties are investigated in many real complex networks. The volume dimension method is an effective tool to measure the fractal property of complex networks. In this paper, a new volume dimension measure is proposed based on the node degree of complex networks. We apply the proposed method to calculate the fractal dimension of some real networks and Newman–Watts (NW) small-world. The results show that the proposed method is effective when dealing with the fractal dimension problem of complex networks. In addition, we find that the fractal dimension is mainly influenced by the probability of ‘adding edges’ and the average length of the small-world network.
