The scale-free degree distribution and community structure are two significant properties shared by numerous complex networks. In this paper, we investigate the impact of these properties on a stochastic SIR epidemic which incorporates the stochastic nature of epidemic spreading. A two-type...

This paper deals with the synchronization problem of the recurrent neural networks with time-varying and distributed time-varying delays. Based on the drive–response concept, LMI approach and the Lyapunov stability theorem, a delay-dependent feedback controller is derived to achieve the...

In this paper, we propose a new routing strategy based on the minimum information path, named the optimal routing (OR) strategy, to improve the transportation capacity of scale-free networks. We define the average routing centrality degree of the node to analyze the traffic load on nodes of...

Community detection is a topic of considerable recent interest within complex networks, but most methods proposed so far are divisive and agglomerative methods which delete only one edge each time to split the network, or agglomerating only one node each time until no individual node remains....

Several fundamental properties of real complex networks, such as the small-world effect, the scale-free degree distribution, and recently discovered topological fractal structure, have presented the possibility of a unique growth mechanism and allow for uncovering universal origins of collective...

Many real networks are characterized by overlapping community structures in which vertices may belong to more than one community. In this paper, we propose a network model with overlapping community structure. The analytical and numerical results show that the connectivity distribution of this...
