Abstract

We discuss the three-dimensional Apollonian network introduced by Andrade et al.(1) for the two-dimensional case. These networks are simultaneously scale-free, small world, Euclidean, space-filling and matching graphs and have a wide range of applications going from the description of force chains in polydisperse granular packings to the geometry of fully fragmented porous media. Some of the properties of these networks, namely, the connectivity exponent, the clustering coefficient, the shortest path, and vertex betweenness are calculated and found to be particularly rich.
