Sumario:In this work, we introduce an energy function in order to study finite scale free graphs generated with different models. The energy distribution has a fractal pattern and presents log periodic oscillations for high energies. These oscillations are related to a discrete scale invariance of certain graphs, that is, there are preferred scaling ratios suggesting a hierarchical distribution of node degrees. On the other hand, small energies correspond to graphs with evenly distributed degrees. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
