NW小世界网络的构成原则为：从一个环状的规则网络开始，网络含有N个结点，每个结点向与它最近邻的K个结点连出K条边，并满足N>>K>>In(N)>>1。随后进行随机化加边，以概率p在随机选取的一对节点之间加上一条边。其中，任意两个不同的节点之间至多只能有一条边，并且每一个节点都不能有边与自身相连。改变p值可以实现从最近邻耦合网络(p=0)向全局耦合网络(p=1)转变。在p足够小和N足够大时，NW小世界模型本质上等同于WS小世界模型。

-NW constitutive principles of small-world networks: from the rules of a ring network, network with N nodes, each node is connected to the K node with its nearest neighbor K edges, and meet N > >　K > >　In (N) > >　1. Followed by randomization into the plus side, with probability p with an edge between a pair of nodes in a randomly selected. Wherein between any two different nodes at most only one edge, and each node can not have a side connected with itself. P value can be changed to achieve the transition from the nearest neighbor coupling network (p = 0) coupled to the global network (p = 1). When p is small enough and large enough N, NW small-world model is essentially the same as the WS small-world model.
