Problems in the field of data visualization are "how to define the layout algorithm to discover the hidden relationships in the financial data" and "how to design and develop a reliable system to implement the layout algorithm". Although there were many solutions to deal with the problems, the methods mainly focused on visualizing network topologies or social networks. This thesis develops a novel tree layout algorithm based on a power-law degree distribution and a robust flash web application system to investigate relationships in financial time-series data. Compared to previous tree layout algorithms, this novel layout algorithm is flexible, scalable, and easy to implement. Additionally, this thesis presents the design structure and important features in the novel graph visualization system. This system provides a number of unique characteristics. For example, if a new focus node is selected, the feature of animating zooming with degree separations will track an animating transition from one to another layout for users. At last, based on many experiments, the thesis demonstrates the profound applications and practices of this system. When utilizing the visualization system to display the data in world crude oil price, we discover that the price fluctuations of crude oil within Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) or non-OPEC group are correlated, but price fluctuations of crude oil between difference groups are uncorrelated.

Power law degree distribution, the small world property, and bad spectral expansion are three of the most important properties of On-line Social Networks (OSNs). We sampled YouTube and Wikipedia to investigate OSNs. Our simulation and computational results support the conclusion that OSNs follow a power law degree distribution, have the small world property, and bad spectral expansion. We calculated the diameters and spectral gaps of OSNs samples, and compared these to graphs generated by the GEO-P model. Our simulation results support the Logarithmic Dimension Hypothesis, which conjectures that the dimension of OSNs is m = [log N]. We introduced six GEO-P type models. We ran simulations of these GEO-P-type models, and compared the simulated graphs with real OSN data. Our simulation results suggest that, except for the GEO-P (GnpDeg) model, all our models generate graphs with power law degree distributions, the small world property, and bad spectral expansion.

We introduce a fully nonhierarchical network growing mechanism, that furthermore does not impose explicit preferential attachment rules. The growing procedure produces a graph featuring power-law degree and clustering distributions, and manifesting slightly disassortative degree-degree correlations. The rigorous rate equations for the evolution of the degree distribution and for the conditional degree-degree probability are derived.

In this paper, a new evolution model based on complex network among the cluster heads in wireless sensor network is proposed. The evolution model considered distributed and local-world mechanism during the evolving process. The theoretical analysis of this model exhibits a power-law degree distribution with mean-field theory, which provides good fault-tolerance. The degree exponent is not a fixed number, which changes with the distribution of the cluster heads and the energy as well as the communication radius. Furthermore, the degree exponent can lead to an upper limit -2 when the distribution of the cluster heads and the energy are both uniform distribution. Analysis and simulation show that the network exhibits well robustness and a power-law degree distribution.

A random graph evolution mechanism is defined. The evolution studied is a combination of the preferential attachment model and the interaction of four vertices. The asymptotic behaviour of the graph is described. It is proved that the graph exhibits a power law degree distribution; in other words, it is scale-free. It turns out that any exponent in(2,∞)can be achieved. The proofs are based on martingale methods.
