Nonlinear growth in weighted networks with neighborhood preferential attachment

Abstract

We propose a nonlinear growing model for weighted networks with two significant characteristics: (i) the new weights triggered by new edges at each time step grow nonlinearly with time; and (ii) a neighborhood local-world exists for local preferential attachment, which is defined as one selected node and its neighbors. Global strength-driven and local weight-driven preferential attachment mechanisms are involved in our model. We study the evolution process through both mathematical analysis and numerical simulation, and find that the model exhibits a wide-range power-law distribution for node degree, strength, and weight. In particular, a nonlinear degree–strength relationship is obtained. This nonlinearity implies that accelerating growth of new weights plays a nontrivial role compared with accelerating growth of edges. Because of the specific local-world model, a small-world property emerges, and a significant hierarchical organization, independent of the parameters, is observed.
