Propagation of contagion in networks depends on the graph topology. This paper is concerned with studying the time-asymptotic behavior of the extended contact processes on static, undirected, finite-size networks. This is a contact process…
We present a general class of geometric network growth mechanisms by homogeneous attachment in which the links created at a given time $t$ are distributed homogeneously between a new node and the exising nodes selected uniformly. This is…
We study a random walk problem on the hierarchical network which is a scale-free network grown deterministically. The random walk problem is mapped onto a dynamical Ising spin chain system in one dimension with a nonlocal spin update rule,…
Many networks are characterized by highly heterogeneous distributions of links, which are called scale-free networks and the degree distributions follow $p(k)\sim ck^{-\alpha}$. We study the robustness of scale-free networks to random…
The origin of scale-free degree distributions in the context of networks is addressed through an analogous non-network model in which the node degree corresponds to the number of balls in a box and the rewiring of links to balls moving…
We investigate Bak-Sneppen coevolution models on scale-free networks with various degree exponents $\gamma$ including random networks. For $\gamma >3$, the critical fitness value $f_c$ approaches to a nonzero finite value in the limit $N…
Degree correlation is an important topological property common to many real-world networks. In this paper, the statistical measures for characterizing the degree correlation in networks are investigated analytically. We give an exact proof…
We study the detailed epidemic spreading process in scale-free networks with weight that denote familiarity between two people or computers. The result shows that spreading velocity reaches a peak quickly then decays representing power-law…
We develop a model in the framework of nuclear fragmentation at thermodynamic equilibrium which can be mapped onto an Ising model with constant magnetization. We work out the thermodynamic properties of the model as well as the properties…
We propose a simple dynamical model that generates networks with power-law degree distributions with the exponent 2 through rewiring only. At each time step, two nodes, i and j, are randomly selected, and one incoming link to i is…
Hierarchical models of scale free networks are introduced where numbers of nodes in clusters of a given hierarchy are stochastic variables. Our models show periodic oscillations of degree distribution P(k) in the log-log scale. Periods and…
We define a statistical ensemble of non-degenerate graphs, i.e. graphs without multiple- and self-connections between nodes. The node degree distribution is arbitrary, but the nodes are assumed to be uncorrelated. This completes our earlier…
Very often, when studying topological or dynamical properties of random scale-free networks, it is tacitly assumed that degree-degree correlations are not present. However, simple constraints, such as the absence of multiple edges and…
We study a social network consisting of over $10^4$ individuals, with a degree distribution exhibiting two power scaling regimes separated by a critical degree $k_{\rm crit}$, and a power law relation between degree and local clustering. We…
We study the spreading of a disease on top of structured scale-free networks recently introduced. By means of numerical simulations we analyze the SIS and the SIR models. Our results show that when the connectivity fluctuations of the…
We show that the connectivity distributions $P(k,t)$ of scale-free growing networks ($t$ is the network size) have the generic scale -- the cut-off at $k_{cut} \sim t^\beta$. The scaling exponent $\beta$ is related to the exponent $\gamma$…
We investigate analytically and numerically the dynamical properties of critical Boolean networks with power-law in-degree distributions. When the exponent of the in-degree distribution is larger than 3, we obtain results equivalent to…
We find that transport on scale-free random networks depends strongly on degree-correlated network topologies whereas transport on Erd$\ddot{o}$s-R$\acute{e}$nyi networks is insensitive to the degree correlation. An approach for the tuning…
Growing networks have a causal structure. We show that the causality strongly influences the scaling and geometrical properties of the network. In particular the average distance between nodes is smaller for causal networks than for…
