Complex networks generated by the Penna bit-string model: emergence of small-world and assortative mixing.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Penna bit-string model successfully encompasses many phenomena of population evolution, including inheritance, mutation, evolution, and aging. If we consider social interactions among individuals in the Penna model, the population will form a complex network. In this paper, we first modify the Verhulst factor to control only the birth rate, and introduce activity-based preferential reproduction of offspring in the Penna model. The social interactions among individuals are generated by both inheritance and activity-based preferential increase. Then we study the properties of the complex network generated by the modified Penna model. We find that the resulting complex network has a small-world effect and the assortative mixing property.

Clustering assortativity, communities and functional modules in real-world networks
Complex networks of real-world systems are believed to be controlled by common phenomena, producing structures far from regular or random. Clustering, community structure and assortative mixing by degree are perhaps among most prominent examples of the latter. Although generally accepted for social networks, these properties only partially explain the structure of other networks. We first show ...
متن کاملGenerating an Assortative Network with a Given Degree Distribution
Recently, the assortative mixing of complex networks has received much attention partly because of its significance in various social networks. In this paper, a new scheme to generate an assortative growth network with given degree distribution is presented using a Monte Carlo sampling method. Since the degrees of a great number of real-life networks obey either power-law or Poisson distributio...
متن کاملComputing Assortative Mixing by Degree with the s-Metric in Networks Using Linear Programming
Estimation of assortative mixing by degree in networks is important because it points to the existence of a hub-like core in networks with scaling degree distributions. Such networks show self-similarity and other emergent properties of complex networks. Degree correlation has generally been used to measure assortative mixing of a network. But it has been shown that degree correlation cannot al...
متن کاملEmergence of scaling and assortative mixing through altruism
Many social networks, apart from displaying scale-free characteristics observed in some instances, possess another remarkable feature that distinguishes them from those that appear in biological and technological context—assortativity. However, little or no attention has been payed to the mechanism of assortativity in modeling these networks. Inspired by individuals’ altruistic behavior in soci...
متن کاملGeometric Assortative Growth Model for Small-World Networks
It has been shown that both humanly constructed and natural networks are often characterized by small-world phenomenon and assortative mixing. In this paper, we propose a geometrically growing model for small-world networks. The model displays both tunable small-world phenomenon and tunable assortativity. We obtain analytical solutions of relevant topological properties such as order, size, deg...
