A Synthetical Weights' Dynamic Mechanism for Weighted Networks

Physics and Society 2007-09-10 v1

Abstract

We propose a synthetical weights' dynamic mechanism for weighted networks which takes into account the influences of strengths of nodes, weights of links and incoming new vertices. Strength/Weight preferential strategies are used in these weights' dynamic mechanisms, which depict the evolving strategies of many real-world networks. We give insight analysis to the synthetical weights' dynamic mechanism and study how individual weights' dynamic strategies interact and cooperate with each other in the networks' evolving process. Power-law distributions of strength, degree and weight, nontrivial strength-degree correlation, clustering coefficients and assortativeness are found in the model with tunable parameters representing each model. Several homogenous functionalities of these independent weights' dynamic strategy are generalized and their synergy are studied.
