Abstract:The transport of information packets in complex networks is a prototype system for the study of traffic jamming, a nonlinear dynamic phenomenon that arises with increased traffic load and limited network capacity. The underlying mathematical framework helps to reveal how the macroscopic jams build-up from microscopic dynamics, depending on the posting rate, navigation rules, and network structure. We investigate the time series of traffic loads before congestion occurs on two networks with structures that supp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
