The zero range process is defined with the particle jumping rate function $p(n)=n^\\delta$. We show analytically that a complete condensation occurs when $\\delta \\leq \\delta_c \\equiv 1/(\\gamma-1)$ where $\\gamma$ is the degree distribution exponent of the underlying networks. In the complete condensation, those nodes whose degree is higher than a threshold are occupied by macroscopic numbers of particles, while the other nodes are occupied by negligible numbers of particles. We also show numerically that the relaxation time follows a power-law scaling $\\tau \\sim L^z$ with the network size $L$ and a dynamic exponent $z$ in the condensed phase.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-05-19T14:37:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.70.Fh", "64.70.Fx", "89.75.Hc", "05.20.-y" ], "keywords": [ "zero range process", "scale-free networks", "network structure influences particle dynamics", "particle jumping rate function", "complete condensation occurs" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
