To study the robustness of complex networks under attack and repair, we introduce a repair model of complex networks. Based on the model, we introduce two new quantities, i.e. attack fraction fa and the maximum degree of the nodes that have never been attacked ~Ka, to study analytically the critical attack fraction and the relative size of the giant component of complex networks under attack and repair, using the method of generating function. We show analytically and numerically that the repair strategy significantly enhances the robustness of the scale-free network and the effect of robustness improvement is better for the scale-free networks with a smaller degree exponent. We discuss the application of our theory in relation to the
understanding of robustness of complex networks with reparability.  相似文献

In this paper, we analyze an evolving model with local information which can generate a class of networks by choosing different values of the parameter p. The model introduced exhibits the transition from unweighted networks to weighted networks because the distribution of the edge weight can be widely tuned. With the increase in the local information, the degree correlation of the network transforms from assortative to disassortative. We also study the distribution of the degree, strength and edge weight, which all show crossover between exponential and scale-free. Finally, an application of the proposed model to the study of the synchronization is considered. It is concluded that the synchronizability is enhanced when the heterogeneity of the edge weight is reduced.  相似文献

We have studied the directed and weighted network in which the wards of London are vertices and two vertices are connected whenever there is at least one person commuting to work from one ward to another. Remarkably the in-strength and in-degree distribution tail is a power law with exponent around −2, while the out-strength and out-degree distribution tail is exponential. We propose a simple square lattice model to explain the observed empirical behaviour.  相似文献

We present a family of scale-free network model consisting of cliques, which is established by a simple recursive algorithm. We investigate the networks both analytically and numerically. The obtained analytical solutions show that the networks follow a power-law degree distribution, with degree exponent continuously tuned between 2 and 3. The exact expression of clustering coefficient is also provided for the networks. Furthermore, the investigation of the average path length reveals that the networks possess small-world feature. Interestingly, we find that a special case of our model can be mapped into the Yule process.  相似文献

This paper proposes how to build a syntactic network based on syntactic theory and presents some statistical properties of Chinese syntactic dependency networks based on two Chinese treebanks with different genres. The results show that the two syntactic networks are small-world networks, and their degree distributions obey a power law. The finding, that the two syntactic networks have the same diameter and different average degrees, path lengths, clustering coefficients and power exponents, can be seen as an indicator that complexity theory can work as a means of stylistic study. The paper links the degree of a vertex with a valency of a word, the small world with the minimized average distance of a language, that reinforces the explanations of the findings from linguistics.  相似文献

We analyze proportional election data to show the influence of parties on the results of this kind of election. The study compiles data from different countries and dates to show that depending on how the candidate’s votes are counted, one can find that these votes have different distributions. When considering the fraction of votes received by the candidates, the vote distribution has a power law behavior with exponent α=1 for all cases studied. However, this universal behavior is modified when we normalize the fraction of votes by the mean number of votes of the candidate’s party. Considering this normalization, the Brazilian and the Finnish results are now different. The former follows an exponential while the latter a log-normal distribution.  相似文献

Many systems of different nature exhibit scale free behaviors. Economic systems with power law distribution in the wealth are one of the examples. To better understand the working behind the complexity, we undertook an experiment recording the interactions between market participants. A Web server was setup to administer the exchange of futures contracts whose liquidation prices were coupled to event outcomes. After free registration, participants started trading to compete for the money prizes upon maturity of the futures contracts at the end of the experiment. The evolving `cash' flow network was reconstructed from the transactions between players. We show that the network topology is hierarchical, disassortative and small-world with a power law exponent of 1.02±0.09 in the degree distribution after an exponential decay correction. The small-world property emerged early in the experiment while the number of participants was still small. We also show power law-like distributions of the net incomes and inter-transaction time intervals. Big winners and losers are associated with high degree, high betweenness centrality, low clustering coefficient and low degree-correlation. We identify communities in the network as groups of the like-minded. The distribution of the community sizes is shown to be power-law distributed with an exponent of 1.19±0.16.  相似文献

Both the degree distribution and the degree-rank distribution, which is a relationship function between the degree and the rank of a vertex in the degree sequence obtained from sorting all vertices in decreasing order of degree, are important statistical properties to characterize complex networks. We derive an exact mathematical relationship between degree-rank distributions and degree distributions of complex networks. That is, for arbitrary complex networks, the degree-rank distribution can be derived from the degree distribution, and the reverse is true. Using the mathematical relationship, we study the degree-rank distributions of scale-free networks and exponential networks. We demonstrate that the degree-rank distributions of scale-free networks follow a power law only if scaling exponent λ>2. We also demonstrate that the degree-rank distributions of exponential networks follow a logarithmic law. The simulation results in the BA model and the exponential BA model verify our results.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

Betweenness centrality in finite components of complex networks   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We use generating function formalism to obtain an exact formula of the betweenness centrality in finite components of random networks with arbitrary degree distributions. The formula is obtained as a function of the degree and the component size, and is confirmed by simulations for Poisson, exponential, and power-law degree distributions. We find that the betweenness centralities for the three distributions are asymptotically power laws with an exponent 1.5 and are invariant to the particular distribution parameters.  相似文献

In this work, we first formulate the Tsallis entropy in the context of complex networks. We then propose a network construction whose topology maximizes the Tsallis entropy. The growing network model has two main ingredients: copy process and random attachment mechanism (C-R model). We show that the resulting degree distribution exactly agrees with the required degree distribution that maximizes the Tsallis entropy. We also provide another example of network model using a combination of preferential and random attachment mechanisms (P-R model) and compare it with the distribution of the Tsallis entropy. In this case, we show that by adequately identifying the exponent factor q, the degree distribution can also be written in the q-exponential form. Taken together, our findings suggest that both mechanisms, copy process and preferential attachment, play a key role for the realization of networks with maximum Tsallis entropy. Finally, we discuss the interpretation of q parameter of the Tsallis entropy in the context of complex networks.  相似文献

When we study the architecture of networks of spatially extended systems the nodes in the network are subject to local correlation structures. In this case, we show that for scale-free networks the traditional way to estimate the clustering coefficient may not be meaningful. Here we explain why and propose an approach that corrects this problem.  相似文献

A network growth model with geographic limitation of accessible information about the status of existing nodes is investigated. In this model, the probability Π(k) of an existing node of degree k is found to be super-linear with Π(k)∼kα and α>1 when there are links from new nodes. The numerical results show that the constructed networks have typical power-law degree distributions P(k)∼kγ and the exponent γ depends on the constraint level. An analysis of local structural features shows the robust emergence of scale-free network structure in spite of the super-linear preferential attachment rule. This local structural feature is directly associated with the geographical connection constraints which are widely observed in many real networks.  相似文献

In this paper, we propose an evolving Sierpinski gasket, based on which we establish a model of evolutionary Sierpinski networks (ESNs) that unifies deterministic Sierpinski network [Z.Z. Zhang, S.G. Zhou, T. Zou, L.C. Chen, J.H. Guan, Eur. Phys. J. B 60 (2007) 259] and random Sierpinski network [Z.Z. Zhang, S.G. Zhou, Z. Su, T. Zou, J.H. Guan, Eur. Phys. J. B 65 (2008) 141] to the same framework. We suggest an iterative algorithm generating the ESNs. On the basis of the algorithm, some relevant properties of presented networks are calculated or predicted analytically. Analytical solution shows that the networks under consideration follow a power-law degree distribution, with the distribution exponent continuously tuned in a wide range. The obtained accurate expression of clustering coefficient, together with the prediction of average path length reveals that the ESNs possess small-world effect. All our theoretical results are successfully contrasted by numerical simulations. Moreover, the evolutionary prisoner’s dilemma game is also studied on some limitations of the ESNs, i.e., deterministic Sierpinski network and random Sierpinski network.  相似文献

In this paper, we analyze statistical properties of a communication network constructed from the records of a mobile phone company. The network consists of 2.5 million customers that have placed 810 million communications (phone calls and text messages) over a period of 6 months and for whom we have geographical home localization information. It is shown that the degree distribution in this network has a power-law degree distribution k−5 and that the probability that two customers are connected by a link follows a gravity model, i.e. decreases as d−2, where d is the distance between the customers. We also consider the geographical extension of communication triangles and we show that communication triangles are not only composed of geographically adjacent nodes but that they may extend over large distances. This last property is not captured by the existing models of geographical networks and in a last section we propose a new model that reproduces the observed property. Our model, which is based on the migration and on the local adaptation of agents, is then studied analytically and the resulting predictions are confirmed by computer simulations.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

Biological and social systems have been found to possess a non-trivial underlying network structure of interacting components. An important current question concerns the nature of the evolutionary processes that have led to the observed structural patterns dynamically. By comparing the metabolic networks of evolutionarily closeby as well distant species, we present results on the evolution of these networks over short as well as long time scales. We observe that the amount of change in the reaction set of a metabolite across different species is proportional to the degree of the metabolite, thus providing empirical evidence for a `proportionate change' mechanism. We find that this evolutionary process is characterized by a power law with a universal exponent that is independent of the pair of species compared.  相似文献

The dynamics of a complex system is usually recorded in the form of time series, which can be studied through its visibility graph from a complex network perspective. We investigate the visibility graphs extracted from fractional Brownian motions and multifractal random walks, and find that the degree distributions exhibit power-law behaviors, in which the power-law exponent α is a linear function of the Hurst index H of the time series. We also find that the degree distribution of the visibility graph is mainly determined by the temporal correlation of the original time series with minor influence from the possible multifractal nature. As an example, we study the visibility graphs constructed from three Chinese stock market indexes and unveil that the degree distributions have power-law tails, where the tail exponents of the visibility graphs and the Hurst indexes of the indexes are close to the αH linear relationship.  相似文献

Considering that not all overload nodes will be removed from networks due to some effective measures to protect them, we propose a new cascading model with a breakdown probability. Adopting the initial load of a node j to be Lj=[kj(∑mΓjkm)]α with kj and Γj being the degree of the node j and the set of its neighboring nodes, respectively, where α is a tunable parameter, we investigate the relationship between some parameters and universal robustness characteristics against cascading failures on scale-free networks. According to a new measure originated from a phase transition from the normal state to collapse, the numerical simulations show that Barabási-Albert (BA) networks reach the strongest robustness level against cascading failures when the tunable parameter α=0.5, while not relating to the breakdown probability. We furthermore explore the effect of the average degree 〈k〉 for network robustness, thus obtaining a positive correlation between 〈k〉 and network robustness. We then analyze the effect of the breakdown probability on the network robustness and confirm by theoretical predictions this universal robustness characteristic observed in simulations. Our work may have practical implications for controlling various cascading-failure-induced disasters in the real world.  相似文献

We introduce a new simple pseudo tree-like network model, deterministic complex network (DCN). The proposed DCN model may simulate the hierarchical structure nature of real networks appropriately and have the unique property of ‘skipping the levels’, which is ubiquitous in social networks. Our results indicate that the DCN model has a rather small average path length and large clustering coefficient, leading to the small-world effect. Strikingly, our DCN model obeys a discrete power-law degree distribution P(k)∝kγ, with exponent γ approaching 1.0. We also discover that the relationship between the clustering coefficient and degree follows the scaling law C(k)∼k−1, which quantitatively determines the DCN's hierarchical structure.  相似文献
