Abstract
Network architecture design is very important for the optimization of industrial networks. The type of network architecture can be divided into small-scale network and large-scale network according to its scale. Graph theory is an efficient mathematical tool for network topology modeling. For small-scale networks, its structure often has regular topology. For large-scale networks, the existing research mainly focuses on the random characteristics of network nodes and edges. Recently, popular models include random networks, small-world networks and scale-free networks. Starting from the scale of network, this survey summarizes and analyzes the network modeling methods based on graph theory and the practical application in industrial scenarios. Furthermore, this survey proposes a novel network performance metric - system entropy. From the perspective of mathematical properties, the…
