When the spatial networks split?

Computational Physics 2009-04-26 v1

Abstract

We consider a three dimensional spatial network, where NN nodes are randomly distributed within a cube L×L×LL\times L\times L. Each two nodes are connected if their mutual distance does not excess a given cutoff aa. We analyse numerically the probability distribution of the critical density ρc=N(ac/L)3\rho_c=N(a_c/L)^3, where one or more nodes become separated; ρc\rho_c is found to increase with NN as N0.105N^{0.105}, where NN is between 20 and 300. The results can be useful for a design of protocols to control sets of wearable sensors.
