abstract = {Ensembles of networks are used as null models in many
applications. However, simple null models often show much
less clustering than their real-world counterparts. In this
paper, we study a "biased rewiring model" where clustering
is enhanced by means of a fugacity as in the Strauss (or
"triangle") model, but where the number of links attached to
each node is strictly preserved. Similar models have been
proposed previously in Milo [Science 298, 824 (2002)]. Our
model exhibits phase transitions as the fugacity is changed.
For regular graphs (identical degrees for all nodes) with
degree k > 2 we find a single first order transition. For
all nonregular networks that we studied (including
Erdoumls-Reacutenyi, scale-free, and several real-world
networks) multiple jumps resembling first order transitions
appear. The jumps coincide with the sudden emergence of
"cluster cores:" groups of highly interconnected nodes with
higher than average degrees, where each edge participates in
many triangles. Hence, clustering is not smoothly
distributed throughout the network. Once formed, the cluster
cores are difficult to remove, leading to strong hysteresis.
To study the cluster cores visually, we introduce q -clique
adjacency plots. Cluster cores constitute robust communities
that emerge spontaneously from the triangle generating
process, rather than being put explicitly into the
definition of the model. All the quantities we measured
including the modularity, assortativity, clustering and
number of four and five-cliques exhibit simultaneous jumps
and are equivalent order parameters. Finally, we point out
that cluster cores produce pitfalls when using the present
(and similar) models as null models for strongly clustered
networks, due to strong hysteresis which leads to broken
ergodicity on realistic sampling time scales.},
