However, a signal or influence travelling on the small-world networks often associated with time-delay features which are very common in biological and physical networks. We develop an analytical approach as well as numerical simulations to try to characterize the effect of time-delay on the properties of small-world networks. An analytical expression of the fractal dimension of the small-world networks is given and thus compared with the results from numerical simulations. Analysis shows that small-world networks with time-delay generally have the multifractals property.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-03-25T16:41:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A80" ], "keywords": [ "small-world networks", "time delay", "numerical simulations", "time-delay features", "fractal dimension" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1003.4949Y" } } }
