Self-organization of structures and networks from merging and small-scale fluctuations

Self-organization of structures and networks from merging and small-scale fluctuations

We discuss merging-and-creation as a self-organizing process for scale-free topologies in networks. Three power-law classes characterized by the power-law exponents 3 2 , 2 and 5 2 are identified and the process is generalized to networks. In the network context the merging can be viewed as a conseq...

Zusammenfassung:We discuss merging-and-creation as a self-organizing process for scale-free topologies in networks. Three power-law classes characterized by the power-law exponents 3 2 , 2 and 5 2 are identified and the process is generalized to networks. In the network context the merging can be viewed as a consequence of optimization related to more efficient signaling.
