Figure 5.

Comparison of spectral properties of two small-world networks. Plots of spectral density of the adjacency and Laplacian eigenvalues for a randomly-generated Erdos-Rényi graph, a randomly-generated Watts-Strogatz graph, a randomly-generated Barabási-Albert graph, and the small-world network depicted in Figure 4 consisting of complete subgraphs attached to nodes arrayed in a ring. The input small-world network is most similar to the randomly-generated Watts-Strogatz network, since they have the most similar topologies.
