The result shows that spreading velocity reaches a peak quickly then decays representing power-law time behavior, and comparing to non-weighted networks, precise hierarchical dynamics is not found although the nodes with larger strength is preferential to be infected.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-07-22T15:26:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "weighted networks", "decays representing power-law time behavior", "spreading velocity reaches", "denote familiarity", "scale-free networks" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
