Steven H. Strogatz的文章Exploring complex networks综述了动力学网络方面的研究。他把网络分成规则网络和复杂网络两种，而复杂网络分为随机网络，小世界网络和自相似网络。小世界网络和自相似网络都介于规则和随机网络之间。(The Steven H. Strogatz article Exploring complex networks reviews the research on the dynamic network. He divides the network into two types of regular networks and complex networks, while complex networks are divided into random networks, small world networks and self similar networks. The small world network and the self similar network are between the rules and the random networks.)
