Abstract

We investigate the condensation phase transitions of conserved-mass aggregation (CA) model on weighted scale-free networks (WSFNs). In WSFNs, the weight wijw_{ij} is assigned to the link between the nodes ii and jj. We consider the symmetric weight given as wij=(kikj)αw_{ij}=(k_i k_j)^\alpha. In CA model, the mass mim_i on the randomly chosen node ii diffuses to a linked neighbor of ii,jj, with the rate TjiT_{ji} or an unit mass chips off from the node ii to jj with the rate ωTji\omega T_{ji}. The hopping probability TjiT_{ji} is given as Tji=wji/<l>wliT_{ji}= w_{ji}/\sum_{<l>} w_{li}, where the sum runs over the linked neighbors of the node ii. On the WSFNs, we numerically show that a certain critical αc\alpha_c exists below which CA model undergoes the same type of the condensation transitions as those of CA model on regular lattices. However for ααc\alpha \geq \alpha_c, the condensation always occurs for any density ρ\rho and ω\omega. We analytically find αc=(γ3)/2\alpha_c = (\gamma-3)/2 on the WSFN with the degree exponent γ\gamma. To obtain αc\alpha_c, we analytically derive the scaling behavior of the stationary distribution PkP^{\infty}_k of finding a walker at nodes with degree kk, and the probability D(k)D(k) of finding two walkers simultaneously at the same node with degree kk. We find Pkkα+1γP^{\infty}_k \sim k^{\alpha+1-\gamma} and D(k)k2(α+1)γD(k) \sim k^{2(\alpha+1)-\gamma} respectively. With PkP^{\infty}_k, we also show analytically and numerically that the average mass m(k)m(k) on a node with degree kk scales as kα+1k^{\alpha+1} without any jumps at the maximal degree of the network for any ρ\rho as in the SFNs with α=0\alpha=0.
