Tsallis mapping in growing complex networks with fitness

Abstract

We introduce Tsallis mapping in Bianconi-Barab\'asi (B-B) fitness model of growing networks. This mapping addresses the dynamical behavior of the fitness model within the framework of nonextensive statistics mechanics, which is characterized by a dimensionless nonextensivity parameter qq. It is found that this new phenomenological parameter plays an important role in the evolution of networks: the underlying evolving networks may undergo a different phases depending on the qq exponents, comparing to the original B-B fitness model, and the corresponding critical transition "temperature" is identified.
