The emergence of scale-free networks with a seceding mechanism

In order to explore further the underlying mechanism of scale-free networks, we study stochastic secession as a mechanism for the creation of complex networks. In this evolution the network growth incorporates the addition of new nodes, the addition of new links between existing nodes, the deleting and rewiring of some existing links, and the stochastic secession of nodes. To random growing networks with preferential attachment, the model yields scale-free behavior for the degree distribution. Furthermore, we obtain an analytical expression of the power-law degree distribution with scaling exponent γ ranging from 1.1 to 9. The analytical expressions are in good agreement with the numerical simulation results.     

基于复杂网络理论的微博用户关系网络演化模型研究

微博给人们提供便利的同时也产生了较大的负面影响.为获取微博谣言的传播规律,进而采取有效措施防控其传播,本文基于复杂网络理论研究微博用户关系网络的内部特征,提出一种微博用户关系网络演化模型,借助于平均场理论,分析该演化模型的拓扑统计特性,以及谣言在该演化模型上的传播动力学行为.理论分析和仿真实验表明,由该模型演化生成的微博用户关系网络具有无标度特性.度分布指数不仅与反向连接概率有关,而且还取决于节点的吸引度分布.研究还发现,与指数分布和均匀分布相比,当节点吸引度满足幂律分布时,稳态时的谣言传播程度较大.此外,随着反向连接概率或节点初始连边数量的增加,谣言爆发的概率以及网络中最终接受谣言的节点数量都会明显增大.

针对真实世界中大规模网络都具有明显聚类效应的特点, 提出一类具有高聚类系数的加权无标度网络演化模型, 该模型同时考虑了优先连接、三角结构、随机连接和社团结构等四种演化机制. 在模型演化规则中, 以概率p增加单个节点, 以概率1–p增加一个社团. 与以往研究的不同在于新边的建立, 以概率φ在旧节点之间进行三角连接, 以概率1–φ进行随机连接. 仿真分析表明, 所提出的网络度、强度和权值分布都是服从幂律分布的形式, 且具有高聚类系数的特性, 聚类系数的提高与社团结构和随机连接机制有直接的关系. 最后通过数值仿真分析了网络演化机制对同步动态特性的影响, 数值仿真结果表明, 网络的平均聚类系数越小, 网络的同步能力越强. 关键词： 无标度网络 加权网络 聚类系数 同步能力     

Altering synchronizability by adding and deleting edges for scale-free networks

In this paper we propose two methods for altering the synchronizability of scale-free networks: (1) adding edges between the max-degree nodes and min-degree nodes; (2) deleting edges between the max-degree nodes and max-degree nodes. After adding and deleting edges, we find that the former, adding process can weaken synchronizability, while the latter, deleting process can enhance it; the two processes (adding and deleting) can preserve the scale-free structure; the study of the average clustering coefficient indicates that it is not the most closely correlated with the synchronizability among the topological features considered. Our work also suggests that there are some essential relations between the network synchronization and the dynamics of economic systems. They can be used to deal with some problems in the real world, such as relieving the economic crisis. In addition, the adding and deleting processes may have potential applications in modifying network structure, in view of their low cost.     

具有双峰特性的双层超网络模型

随着社会经济的快速发展,社会成员及群体之间的关系呈现出了更复杂、更多元化的特点.超网络作为一种描述复杂多元关系的网络,已在不同领域中得到了广泛的应用.服从泊松度分布的随机网络是研究复杂网络的开创性模型之一,而在现有的超网络研究中,基于ER随机图的超网络模型尚属空白.本文首先在基于超图的超网络结构中引入ER随机图理论,提出了一种ER随机超网络模型,对超网络中的节点超度分布进行了理论分析,并通过计算机仿真了在不同超边连接概率条件下的节点超度分布情况,结果表明节点超度分布服从泊松分布,符合随机网络特征并且与理论推导相一致.进一步,为更准确有效地描述现实生活中的多层、异质关系,本文构建了节点超度分布具有双峰特性,层间采用随机方式连接,层内分别为ER-ER,BA-BA和BA-ER三种不同类型的双层超网络模型,理论分析得到了三种双层超网络节点超度分布的解析表达式,三种双层超网络在仿真实验中的节点超度分布均具有双峰特性.     

面向成本-收益好的无标度耦合网络构建方法

较大平均路径长度的网络会带来较大的网络延迟, 难以支持时间敏感业务与应用. 通过增加连接可以降低源和目的节点之间的跳数, 进而降低网络平均延迟, 使得更加快速地传播信息, 但是增加连接的同时也增加了网络构建成本. 分层网络是研究网络耦合的一个有效方法, 但目前网络构建过程中将每层网络分别处理并认为每层网络之间没有强相关性. 本文提出了一种面向成本-收益的无标度网络动态构建方法. 此方法将网络分为多层, 基于连续论在高层网络中添加连接, 使得网络演化为无标度网络. 此连续过程包括节点度增加过程和局部网络半径增长两个连续过程, 在增加连接的过程中引入表征网络构建成本和收益的成本-收益指标. 模拟结果表明引入成本-收益指标的无标度耦合网络构建方法能够在合理范围内有效降低网络平均路径长度, 提升网络性能, 并且本文给出了耦合网络的动态业务性能, 通过调整高层网络避免网络拥塞.     

有倾向性重连产生的反匹配网络

在具有网络结构的系统中度关联属性对于动力学行为具有重要的影响, 所以产生适当度关联网络的方法对于大量网络系统的研究具有重要的作用. 尽管产生正匹配网络的方法已经得到很好的验证, 但是产生反匹配网络的方法还没有被系统的讨论过. 重新连接网络中的边是产生度关联网络的一个常用方法. 这里我们研究使用重连方法产生反匹配无标度网络的有效性. 我们的研究表明, 有倾向的重连可以增强网络的反匹配属性. 但是有倾向重连不能使皮尔森度相关系数下降到-1, 而是存在一个依赖于网络参数的最小值. 我们研究了网络的主要参数对于网络度相关系数的影响, 包括网络尺寸, 网络的连接密度和网络节点的度差异程度. 研究表明在网络尺寸大的情况下和节点度差异性强的情况下, 重连的效果较差. 我们研究了真实Internet网络, 发现模型产生的网络经过重连不能达到真实网络的度关联系数.

花簇分形无标度网络中节点影响力的区分度

大量研究表明分形尺度特性广泛存在于真实复杂系统中, 且分形结构显著影响网络上的传播动力学行为. 虽然复杂网络的节点传播影响力吸引了越来越多学者的关注, 但依旧缺乏针对分形网络结构的节点影响力的系统研究. 鉴于此, 本文基于花簇分形网络模型, 研究了分形无标度结构上的节点传播影响力. 首先, 对比了不同分形维数下的节点影响力, 结果表明, 当分形维数很小时, 节点影响力的区分度几乎不随节点度变化, 很难区分不同节点的传播影响力, 而随着分形维数的增大, 从全局和局域角度都能很容易识别网络中的超级传播源. 其次, 通过对原分形网络进行不同程度的随机重连来分析网络噪声对节点影响力区分度的影响, 发现在低维分形网络上, 加入网络噪声之后能够容易区分不同节点的影响力, 而在无穷维超分形网络中, 加入网络噪声之后能够区分中间度节点的影响力, 但从全局和局域角度都很难识别中心节点的影响力. 所得结论进一步补充、深化了基于花簇分形网络的节点影响力研究, 研究结果对实际病毒传播的预警控制提供了一定的理论借鉴.     

A local-world node deleting evolving network model

A new type network growth rule which comprises node addition with the concept of local-world connectivity and node deleting is studied. A series of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation to the LWD network are conducted in this Letter. Firstly, the degree distribution p(k) of this network changes no longer pure scale free but truncates by an exponential tail and the truncation in p(k) increases as pa decreases. Secondly, the connectivity is tighter, as the local-world size M increases. Thirdly, the average path length L increases and the clustering coefficient 〈C〉 decreases as generally node deleting increases. Finally, 〈C〉 trends up when the local-world size M increases, so as to kmax. Hence, the expanding local-world can compensate the infection of the node deleting.     

A highly clustered scale-free network evolved by random walking

In present paper, we propose a highly clustered weighted network model that incorporates the addition of a new node with some links, new links between existing nodes and the edge's weight dynamical evolution based on weight-dependent walks at each time step. The analytical approach and numerical simulation show that the system grows into a weighted network with the power-law distributions of strength, weight and degree. The weight-dependent walk length l will not influence the strength distribution, but the clustering coefficient of the network is sensitive to l. Particularly, the clustering coefficient is especially high and almost independent of the network size when l=2.     

Impact of core-periphery structure on cascading failures in interdependent scale-free networks

Core-periphery structure is a typical meso-scale structure in networks. Previous studies on core-periphery structure mainly focus on the improvement of detection methods, while the research on the impact of core-periphery structure on cascading failures in interdependent networks is still missing. Therefore, we investigate the cascading failures of interdependent scale-free networks with different core-periphery structures and coupling preferences in the paper. First, we introduce an evaluation index to calculate the goodness of core-periphery structure. Second, we propose a new scale-free network evolution model, which can generate tunable core-periphery structures, and its degree distribution is analyzed mathematically. Finally, based on a degree-load-based cascading failure model, we mainly investigate the impact of goodness of core-periphery structure on cascading failures in both symmetrical and asymmetrical interdependent networks. Through numerical simulations, we find that with the same average degree, the networks with weak core-periphery structure will be more robust, while the initial load on node will influence the improvement of robustness. In addition, we also find that the inter-similarity coupling performs better than random coupling. These findings may be helpful for building resilient interdependent networks.     

Evolution mechanism of Weibo top news competition

In a certain period, some news will compete for the top news to gain the most attention and influence, and more news will be submerged in the ocean of news and become mediocre. This article deeply studies the evolution process and competition mechanism of the dissemination of Weibo news. In this paper, we innovatively propose a pre-processing scheme for traditional small-world networks and scale-free networks and divide nodes into three roles:fans, passersby, and anti-fans. The competition mechanism of Weibo top news is defined from the aspects of node role and node aggregation degree. A network evolution model is established based on the competition mechanism. The propagation characteristics of the network evolution model are deeply analyzed, and simulation experiments are performed on the small-world network and the scale-free network. Finally, the validity and rationality of the new model are verified through comparative experiments, and a feasible scheme for the propagation of top news on Weibo is given.

A Weighted Evolving Network with Community Size Preferential Attachment

Community structure is an important characteristic in real complex network. It is a network consists of groups of nodes within which links are dense but among which links are sparse. In this paper, the evolving network include node, link and community growth and we apply the community size preferential attachment and strength preferential attachment to a growing weighted network model and utilize weight assigning mechanism from BBV model. The resulting network reflects the intrinsic community structure with generalized power-law distributions of nodes' degrees and strengths.     

Cascading Failures of Complex Networks Based on Two-Step Degree

We propose a new concept, two-step degree. Defining it as the capacity of a node of complex networks, we establish a novel capacity-load model of cascading failures of complex networks where the capacity of nodes decreases during the process of cascading failures. For scale-free networks, we find that the average two-step degree increases with the increase of the heterogeneity of the degree distribution, showing that the average two- step degree can be used for measuring the heterogeneity of the degree distribution of complex networks. In addition, under the condition that the average degree of a node is given, we can design a scale-free network with the optimal robustness to random failures by maximizing the average two-step degree.     

双复杂网络间的演化博弈

复杂网络的演化博弈是社会结构与稳定的重要模型. 基于单网络演化博弈模型, 提出了一种双复杂动态网络的演化博弈模型, 考虑双复杂网络在两个不同收益矩阵的囚徒困境博弈下增长, 当两个网络没有相互联系时, 发现增长网络中的空间互利性所导致的平均合作水平的突变, 推广了前人的结论. 在两个网络有相互联系时, 平均合作水平可以两者出现高度同步. 在网络的收益系数达到一定时, 才实现较高的合作水平. 增加网络内连接数量时, 自然选择不利于网络的合作, 而公平选择却有利于网络的合作, 说明了更新策略的影响. 当增加网络间连接数量时, 两个网络合作水平都下降. 当保持网络间和网络内的连接比例不变时, 网络的平均度越大, 平均合作水平越小. 本文发现了背叛领袖的存在, 并揭示了双网络模型下背叛领袖对平均合作水平的影响及其与合作领袖的互动机理, 这结果给出社会结构, 稳定和演化的重要信息和启示.     

An efficient approach of controlling traffic congestion in scale-free networks

We propose and study a model of traffic in communication networks. The underlying network has a structure that is tunable between a scale-free growing network with preferential attachments and a random growing network. To model realistic situations where different nodes in a network may have different capabilities, the message or packet creation and delivering rates at a node are assumed to depend on the degree of the node. Noting that congestions are more likely to take place at the nodes with high degrees in networks with scale-free character, an efficient approach of selectively enhancing the message-processing capability of a small fraction (e.g. 3%) of the nodes is shown to perform just as good as enhancing the capability of all nodes. The interplay between the creation rate and the delivering rate in determining non-congested or congested traffic in a network is studied more numerically and analytically.     

Hierarchy in the growing scale-free network with local rules

A new model of the clustering-driven growing network is presented and studied. Numerical and analytical results show that the pure clustering-driven addition of the certain pattern is not responsible for the resulting network hierarchy and scale-free structure. Introduction of local rules leads to the desired properties of the network, independently of the node attachment kernel.
