Table 1.

Assortativity coefficient for the ensembles of different real networks, the maximal degree and the structural cut–off degrees. The table shows the structural cut–off k_cut obtained from Eq. (27), $\sqrt{N⟨k⟩}$ and from Eq. (28). Their values are only shown if they are smaller than the maximal degree $k_{\max }$.
