Constructing and analysis the structure of a complex YouTube-channels network

The purpose of the work is to construct and study the structure features of the YouTube-channels network within the theory of complex networks. To study the topology and dynamics of the network in the course of the work the data were collected to construct seven maps of a fragment of the YouTube-channels network with different intervals. The basic characteristics of the network were calculated and analyzed: diameter, radius, clustering coefficient, degree correlations, etc. The dynamics of node degree growth was studied, and it was shown that the network is growing with nonlinear preferential attachment with an index equal to 0.7. Special attention was paid to the study of topological features of the network, including the structure of communities. The thematic orientation of the channels forming the communities was analyzed.
