Network's resilience to the malfunction of its components has been of great concern. The goal of this work is to determine the network design guidelines, which maximizes the network efficiency while keeping the cost of the network (that is the average connectivity) constant. With a global...

We propose an extended local-world evolving network model including a triad formation (TF) step. In the process of network evolution, random fluctuation in the number of new edges is involved. We derive analytical expressions for degree distribution, clustering coefficient and average path...

Many networks are characterized by highly heterogeneous distributions of links which are called scale-free networks, and the degree distributions follow p(k)∼ck-α. We study the robustness of scale-free networks to random failures from the character of their heterogeneity. Entropy of the...

As a calcium oscillations system is in steady state, the effects of colored noise and noise delay on the system is investigated using stochastic simulation methods. The results indicate that: (1) the colored noise can induce coherence bi-resonance phenomenon. (2) there exist three peaks in the...
