Effect of connection on transport between scale free networks

Abstract

Using numerical simulations, we investigate the effects of the connectivity and topologies of network on the quality of transport between connected scale free networks. Hence, the flow as the electrical conductance between connected networks is calculated. It is found that the conductance distribution between networks follow a power law [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the exponent of the global Network of network, we show that the transport in the symmetric growing preferential attachment connection is more efficient than the symmetric static preferential attachment connection. Furthermore, the differences of transport and networks communications properties in the different cases are discussed.

Proposal for Evaluating a Connection Quality within Transport Networks

“…The following factors are identified when evaluating the connectivity and connection quality of transport relations [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]: -number of connections N s , -average waiting time of the passenger, -distance of the L i , -type of train and number of trains, -transportation time T pi , -number of transfers N pi , -transfer time T wi , -time to reach the destination T Di , -speed of transportation V Pi , -speed of reaching the destination V Di .…”
