Other Definitions For Network Dimensions
The best definition of dimension for a complex network or graph depends on the application. For example, metric dimension is defined in terms of the resolving set for a graph. Definitions based on the scaling property of the "mass" as defined above with distance, or based on the complex network zeta function have also been studied.
For networks embedded in real space, one can define a dimension that characterize the number of nodes that can be reached with an average Euclidean distance.
