Efficiency driven evolution of networks

Author

  • Yang, C.B.

Abstract

A principle governing the evolution of network is proposed based on the consideration of improving the efficiency of a network by demanding that new connections should be added in the network to increase the transportation efficiency as much as possible. It turns out that the added connections should be between two unconnected nodes with sum of their links maximum. The evolution of some properties of the network is considered, such as the degree distributions, number of shortest paths with different distances, and the moments of the spectrum distributions.
