Investigating 1 it based on the original structure is helpful to get deep understanding about the v networks. In this paper, some real-world bipartite networks are collected and di- 4 vided into two types, dependence bipartite networks and independence bipartite 5 networks, according to the different relation of two sets of nodes. By analyzing 8 3 them, the results show that the actors nodes have scale-free property in the depen- . dence networks, and there is no accordant degree distribution in the independence 4 networks for both two types of nodes. In order to understand the scale-free prop- 0 8 erty of actors in dependence networks, two growing bipartite models without the 0 preferential attachment principle are proposed. The models show
