5. DYNAMICS IN THE NETWORKS Something going on
Network dynamics: • global goal • local goal • Flow in complex networks: • ideas • innovations • computer viruses • problems
Network dynamics • The time scale governing the dynamics of the network is comparable to that characterizing the network connectivity • Evolutionary models with optimization mechanisms: • Parameterization • Simulated annealing
Global vs local optimization • Design: the goal is to optimize global quantity (distance, clustering, density, ...) • Evolution: decision taken at node level
Evolution • Bornholdt & Rohlf: Global criticality from local dynamics • Network of interconnected binary elements • The dynamics reaches an attractor • Change the connectivity of a node according to its behavior during the attractor • Evolution towards critical value of connectivity • Phase transition at the critical value: frozen state- dynamical state
Optimization • Global goal: • Distance: related to minimal cost in transportation • Number of connections: costly connections • A combination of parameters • Initial configuration: random graph • Change connections • Accept if there is an improvement • Stars vs trees
Flow in complex networks • Viruses • Information
Virus spreading • SIS (susceptible-infected-susceptible) model • Each healthy (susceptible) individual is infected with rate when it has at least one infected neighbor • Infected nodes are cured (become susceptible) with rate (=1 without lost of generality)
Known results • Regular lattices • Random graphs • Non zero epidemic threshold • >= c: spreads and become persistent • < c: the infection dies out exponentially • Equivalent to a nonequilibrium phase transition
Scale free networks • Absence of an epidemic threshold • Due to the unboundedness of the connectivity fluctuations (<k2>with a power law distribution) • The same fact that make scale-free networks to be robust against random failures makes it very sensitive to the spread of infections
Virus prevalence • Density of infected nodes in surviving infections
