Consider the following model to grow simple networks. At time $t=1$ we start with a

complete network with $n_0=6$ nodes. At each time step $t>1$ a new node is added to

the network. The node arrives together with $m=2$ new links, which are connected to

$m=2$ different nodes already present in the network. The probability ${}_i$ that a new

link is connected to node $i$ is:

${}_i=\frac{k_i-1}{Z},$ with $Z={\displaystyle \underset{j=1}{\overset{N(t-1)}{}}}(k_j-1)$

where $k_i$ is the degree of node $i,$ and $N(t-1)$ is the number of nodes in the network at

time $t-1.$

Find an expression for the number of nodes, $N(t),$ and the number of links, $L(t),$

in the network as a function of time $t.$ Find an expression for the value of $Z$ as a

function of time $t.$
