Table 1 Assortativity coefficient for the ensembles of different real networks, the maximal degree and the structural cut–off degrees. The table shows the structural cut–off kcut obtained from Eq. (27), \(\sqrt{N\langle k\rangle }\) and from Eq. (28). Their values are only shown if they are smaller than the maximal degree \({k}_{\max }\).
