We have numerically investigated the frozen and relevant nodes for each attractor, and the robustness of the attractors to the perturbation that flips the state of a single node of attractors in the relatively small network ($N=30 \\sim 200$). It is shown that the rate of frozen nodes in the complex networks with scale-free topology is larger than that in the random Kauffman model. Furthermore, we have found that in the complex scale-free networks with fluctuations of in-degree number the attractors are more sensitive to the state flip of a highly connected node than to the state flip of a less connected node.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-08-20T11:33:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "scale-free topology", "complex network", "attractor states", "robustness", "state flip" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0708.2585K" } } }
