25. We stress that, since the exponent τ1 can be arbitrarily chosen, in the limit of large τ1 one converges to a δ function, so all nodes have the same degree. The same holds for the distribution of community sizes, which is characterized as well by a tunable power-law exponent τ2. Therefore, our benchmark is a true generalization of the benchmark by Girvan and Newman, which is recovered in the limit where the exponents are infinitely large.
