Network growth with preferential attachment for high indegree and low outdegree

Abstract: We study the growth of a directed transportation network, such as a food web, in which links carry resources. We propose a growth process in which new nodes (or species) preferentially attach to existing nodes with high indegree (in food-web language, number of prey) and low outdegree (or number of predators). This scheme, which we call inverse preferential attachment, is intended to maximize the amount of resources available to each new node. We show that the outdegree (predator) distribution decays at least … Show more

“…In [45] the authors extended [6] and proposed a more general model, where preference is proportional to a positive power of the ratio of in-degree to out-degree. Although similar, the model we investigate in this paper is inherently different, as preference is inversely proportional to both node degree and node distance.…”

“…Linear de-preferential urn models 1177 Recently, there has been some interest in random graphs [9], [50], [51], where attachment probabilities of a new vertex are decreasing functions of the degree of the existing vertices. In most cases, such models also lead to negative reinforcement.…”
