Theoretical prediction of the variance σ2 in comparison with the simulation results.
The system has size and power-law degree distribution
with scaling exponent
. The theoretical prediction does not depend on the value of the average degree. In direct simulations, the values of the average degree are
, 10, 14 and 40. The simulation results denoted by symbols are the same as those plotted in Fig. 1, with the pinning pattern indicator to be
.
