The influence of node–node degree correlations on distances in complex networks has been studied. We have found that even the presence of strong correlations in complex networks does not break a universal scaling of distances between vertices of such networks as science collaboration networks,...

In the present study we consider relations between companies in Poland taking into account common branches they belong to. It is clear that companies belonging to the same branch compete for similar customers, so the market induces correlations between them. On the other hand two branches can be...
