Abstract

We investigate, by numerical simulations, how the avalanche dynamics of the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) sandpile model can induce emergence of scale-free (SF) networks and how this emerging structure affects dynamics of the system. We also discuss how the observed phenomenon can be used to explain evolution of scientific collaboration.
