We study the transition between the strong and weak disorder regimes in the scaling properties of the average optimal path $\ell_{\rm opt}$ in a disordered Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi (ER) random network and scale-free (SF) network. Each link $i$ is…
We review results on the scaling of the optimal path length in random networks with weighted links or nodes. In strong disorder we find that the length of the optimal path increases dramatically compared to the known small world result for…
We study the distribution of optimal path lengths in random graphs with random weights associated with each link (``disorder''). With each link $i$ we associate a weight $\tau_i = \exp(ar_i)$ where $r_i$ is a random number taken from a…
In recent decades, much attention has been focused on the topic of optimal paths in weighted networks due to its broad scientific interest and technological applications. In this work we revisit the problem of the optimal path between two…
We study the behavior of the optimal path between two sites separated by a distance $r$ on a $d$-dimensional lattice of linear size $L$ with weight assigned to each site. We focus on the strong disorder limit, i.e., when the weight of a…
We study the statistics of the optimal path in both random and scale free networks, where weights $w$ are taken from a general distribution $P(w)$. We find that different types of disorder lead to the same universal behavior. Specifically,…
In the subcritical regime Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi (ER) networks consist of finite tree components, which are non-extensive in the network size. The distribution of shortest path lengths (DSPL) of subcritical ER networks was recently calculated…
Watts and Strogatz [Nature 393, 440 (1998)] have recently introduced a model for disordered networks and reported that, even for very small values of the disorder $p$ in the links, the network behaves as a small-world. Here, we test the…
We study the load distribution in weighted networks by measuring the effective number of optimal paths passing through a given vertex. The optimal path, along which the total cost is minimum, crucially depend on the cost distribution…
Analytic solution for the average path length in a large class of random graphs is found. We apply the approach to classical random graphs of Erd\"{o}s and R\'{e}nyi (ER) and to scale-free networks of Barab\'{a}si and Albert (BA). In both…
We introduce a model of percolation induced by disorder, where an initially homogeneous network with links of equal weight is disordered by the introduction of heterogeneous weights for the links. We consider a pair of nodes i and j to be…
We study shortest paths and spanning trees of complex networks with random edge weights. Edges which do not belong to the spanning tree are inactive in a transport process within the network. The introduction of quenched disorder modifies…
A distributed network is modeled by a graph having $n$ nodes (processors) and diameter $D$. We study the time complexity of approximating {\em weighted} (undirected) shortest paths on distributed networks with a $O(\log n)$ {\em bandwidth…
We study complex networks with weights, $w_{ij}$, associated with each link connecting node $i$ and $j$. The weights are chosen to be correlated with the network topology in the form found in two real world examples, (a) the world-wide…
We discuss shortest-path lengths $\ell(r)$ on periodic rings of size L supplemented with an average of pL randomly located long-range links whose lengths are distributed according to $P_l \sim l^{-\xpn}$. Using rescaling arguments and…
Several kinds of walks on complex networks are currently used to analyze search and navigation in different systems. Many analytical and computational results are known for random walks on such networks. Self-avoiding walks (SAWs) are…
We explore a new variant of Small-World Networks (SWNs), in which an additional parameter ($r$) sets the length scale over which shortcuts are uniformly distributed. When $r=0$ we have an ordered network, whereas $r=1$ corresponds to the…
Navigation process is studied on a variant of the Watts-Strogatz small world network model embedded on a square lattice. With probability $p$, each vertex sends out a long range link, and the probability of the other end of this link…
Among all characteristics exhibited by natural and man-made networks the small-world phenomenon is surely the most relevant and popular. But despite its significance, a reliable and comparable quantification of the question `how small is a…
Dynamical scalings for the end-to-end distance $R_{ee}$ and the number of distinct visited nodes $N_v$ of random walks (RWs) on finite scale-free networks (SFNs) are studied numerically. $\left< R_{ee} \right>$ shows the dynamical scaling…
