We show that in infinite scale-free networks the transition between frozen and chaotic phase occurs for $3<\\gamma < 3.5$. The observation is interesting for two reasons. First, since most of critical phenomena in scale-free networks reveal their non-trivial character for $\\gamma<3$, the position of the critical line in Kauffman model seems to be an important exception from the rule. Second, since gene regulatory networks are characterized by scale-free topology with $\\gamma<3$, the observation that in finite-size networks the mentioned transition moves towards smaller $\\gamma$ is an argument for Kauffman model as a good starting point to model real systems. We also explain that the unattainability of the critical line in numerical simulations of classical random graphs is due to percolation phenomena.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-07-24T09:43:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "89.75.Hc", "64.60.Cn", "05.45.-a" ], "keywords": [ "undirected scale free networks", "kauffman boolean model", "critical line", "scale-free topology", "kauffman model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review E", "year": 2008, "month": "Mar", "volume": 77, "number": 3, "pages": "036119" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvE..77c6119F" } } }
