Abstract :
Complex networks can be classified in three main types: random networks, small-world networks and scale-free networks. In this work we studied the cycles distribution of these three types of networks and then we proposed one universal Gaussian function that mathematically models the distribution of the three classes. The proposed equation can be used to model any network including social networks.
