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…

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…
Different weighted scale-free networks show weights-topology correlations indicated by the non linear scaling of the node strength with node connectivity. In this paper we show that networks with and without weight-topology correlations can…
The global structure of the minimal spanning tree (MST) is expected to be universal for a large class of underlying random discrete structures. However, very little is known about the intrinsic geometry of MSTs of most standard models, and…
Transport in weighted networks is dominated by the minimum spanning tree (MST), the tree connecting all nodes with the minimum total weight. We find that the MST can be partitioned into two distinct components, having significantly…
