In this work, we study unreachability in networks, {\\it i.e}, the number of nodes not visited by any walkers until some finite time. We show that for the case of multiple random walkers on scale-free networks, the fraction of sites not visited is well approximated by a stretched exponential function. We also discuss some preliminary results for distinct sites visited on time-varying networks.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-06T17:45:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "scale-free networks", "multiple random walkers", "discrete lattices", "fundamental model", "diffusion process" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
