Simulating the wealth distribution with a Richest-Following strategy on scale-free network
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the wealth distribution with agents playing evolutionary games on a scale-free social network adopting the Richest-Following strategy. Pareto’s power-law distribution (1897) of wealth is demonstrated with power factor in agreement with that of US or Japan. Moreover, the agent’s personal wealth is proportional to its number of contacts (connectivity), and this leads to the phenomenon that the rich gets richer and the poor gets relatively poorer, which agrees with the Matthew Effect. r 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Degree and wealth distribution in a network induced by wealth
A network induced by wealth is a social network model in which wealth induces individuals to participate as nodes, and every node in the network produces and accumulates wealth utilizing its links. More specifically, at every time step a new node is added to the network, and a link is created between one of the existing nodes and the new node. Innate wealthproducing ability is randomly assigned...
متن کاملA Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory
The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...
متن کاملEffects of consumption strategy on wealth distribution on scale-free networks
We investigate wealth distribution on scale-free networks with different consumption strategies.We indicate that nonlinear consumption function can lead to exponentialwealth distribution with a power law tail in accordance with empirical data. In addition, we suggest that anti-degree preference and consumption promotion can make distribution more equal. This provides an effective and practical ...
