Complex network growth model: Possible isomorphism between nonextensive statistical mechanics and random geometry
Abstract
In the realm of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics there are three well known isomorphic connections with random geometry, namely (i) the Kasteleyn-Fortuin theorem which connects the limit of the -state Potts ferromagnet with bond percolation, (ii) the isomorphism which connects the limit of the -state Potts ferromagnet with random resistor networks, and (iii) the de Gennes isomorphism which connects the limit of the -vector ferromagnet with self-avoiding random walk in linear polymers. We provide here strong numerical evidence that a similar isomorphism appears to emerge connecting the energy -exponential distribution (with and ) optimizing, under simple constraints, the nonadditive entropy with a specific geographic growth random model based on preferential attachment through exponentially-distributed weighted links, being the characteristic weight.
