Abstract
We consider spin models on complex networks frequently used to model social and technological systems. We study the annealed ferromagnetic Ising model for random networks with either independent edges (Erdős-Rényi) or prescribed degree distributions (configuration model). Contrary to many physical models, the annealed setting is poorly understood and behaves quite differently than the quenched system. In annealed networks with a fluctuating number of edges, the Ising model changes the degree distribution, an aspect previously ignored. For random networks with Poissonian degrees, this gives rise to three distinct annealed critical temperatures depending on the precise model choice, only one of which reproduces the quenched one. In particular, two of these annealed critical temperatures are finite even when the quenched one is infinite because then the annealed graph creates a giant component for all sufficiently small temperatures. We see that the critical exponents in the configuration model with deterministic degrees are the same as the quenched ones, which are the mean-field exponents if the degree distribution has finite fourth moment and power-law-dependent critical exponents otherwise. Remarkably, the annealing for the configuration model with random independent and identically distributed degrees washes away the universality class with power-law critical exponents.

Abstract
Diffusion on networks is an important concept in network science observed in many situations such as information spreading and rumor controlling in social networks, disease contagion between individuals, and cascading failures in power grids. The critical interactions in networks play critical roles in diffusion and primarily affect network structure and functions. While interactions can occur between two nodes as pairwise interactions, i.e., edges, they can also occur between three or more nodes, which are described as higher-order interactions. This report presents a novel method to identify critical higher-order interactions in complex networks. We propose two new Laplacians to generalize standard graph centrality measures for higher-order interactions. We then compare the performances of the generalized centrality measures using the size of giant component and the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) simulation model to show the effectiveness of using higher-order interactions. We further compare them with the first-order interactions (i.e., edges). Experimental results suggest that higher-order interactions play more critical roles than edges based on both the size of giant component and SIR, and the proposed methods are promising in identifying critical higher-order interactions.

Abstract
Evaluating the significance of nodes or links has always been an important issue in complex networks, and the definition of significance varies with different perspectives. The significance of nodes or links in maintaining the network connectivity is widely discussed due to its application in targeted attacks and immunization. In this paper, inspired by the weak tie phenomenon, we define the links' significance by the dissimilarity of their endpoints. Some link prediction algorithms are introduced to define the dissimilarity of nodes based solely on the network topology. Experiments in synthetic and real networks demonstrate that the method is especially effective in the networks with higher clustering coefficients.

Abstract
The critical edges in complex networks are extraordinary edges which play more significant role than other edges on the structure and function of networks. The research on identifying critical edges in complex networks has attracted much attention because of its theoretical significance as well as wide range of applications. Considering the topological structure of networks and the ability to disseminate information, an edge ranking algorithm BCCMOD based on cliques and paths in networks is proposed in this report. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated by SIR model, susceptibility index S and the size of giant component σ and compared with well-known existing metrics such as Jaccard coefficient, Bridgeness index, Betweenness centrality and Reachability index in nine real networks. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms these well-known methods in identifying critical edges both in network connectivity and spreading dynamic.

Abstract
This work investigates the influence of geometrical features of the Apollonian packing (AP) on the behavior of magnetic models. The proposed model differs from previous investigations on the Apollonian network (AN), where the magnetic coupling constants depend only on the properties of the network structure defined by the packing, but not on quantitative aspects of its geometry. In opposition to the exact scale invariance observed in the AN, the circle's sizes in the AP are scaled by different factors when one goes from one generation to the next, requiring a different approach for the evaluation of the model's properties. If the nearest-neighbors coupling constants are defined by J_{i,j}∼1/(r_{i}+r_{j})^{α}, where r_{i} indicates the radius of the circle i containing the node i, the results for the correlation length ξ indicate that the model's behavior depend on α. In the thermodynamic limit, the uniform model (α=0) is characterized by ξ→∞ for all T>0. Our results indicate that, on increasing α, the system changes to an uncorrelated pattern, with finite ξ at all T>0, at a value α_{c}≃0.743. For any fixed value of α, no finite temperature singularity in the specific heat is observed, indicating that changes in the magnetic ordering occur only when α is changed. This is corroborated by the results for the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility.

Abstract
The increasing demands in security and reliability of infrastructures call for the optimal design of their embedded complex networks topologies. The following question then arises: what is the optimal layout to fulfill best all the demands? Here we present a general solution for this problem with scale-free networks, like the Internet and airline networks. Precisely, we disclose a way to systematically construct networks which are robust against random failures. Furthermore, as the size of the network increases, its shortest path becomes asymptotically invariant and the density of links goes to zero, making it ultra-small world and highly sparse, respectively. The first property is ideal for communication and navigation purposes, while the second is interesting economically. Finally, we show that some simple changes on the original network formulation can lead to an improved topology against malicious attacks.

Abstract
We investigate the collective dynamics of excitatory-inhibitory excitable networks in response to external stimuli. How to enhance the dynamic range, which represents the ability of networks to encode external stimuli, is crucial to many applications. We regard the system as a two-layer network (E layer and I layer) and explore the criticality and dynamic range on diverse networks. Interestingly, we find that phase transition occurs when the dominant eigenvalue of the E layer's weighted adjacency matrix is exactly 1, which is only determined by the topology of the E layer. Meanwhile, it is shown that the dynamic range is maximized at a critical state. Based on theoretical analysis, we propose an inhibitory factor for each excitatory node. We suggest that if nodes with high inhibitory factors are cut out from the I layer, the dynamic range could be further enhanced. However, because of the sparseness of networks and passive function of inhibitory nodes, the improvement is relatively small compared to the original dynamic range. Even so, this provides a strategy to enhance the dynamic range.

Abstract
We study the dynamics of the voter and Moran processes running on top of complex network substrates where each edge has a weight depending on the degree of the nodes it connects. For each elementary dynamical step the first node is chosen at random and the second is selected with probability proportional to the weight of the connecting edge. We present a heterogeneous mean-field approach allowing to identify conservation laws and to calculate exit probabilities along with consensus times. In the specific case when the weight is given by the product of nodes' degree raised to a power θ, we derive a rich phase diagram, with the consensus time exhibiting various scaling laws depending on θ and on the exponent of the degree distribution γ. Numerical simulations give very good agreement for small values of |θ|. An additional analytical treatment (heterogeneous pair approximation) improves the agreement with numerics, but the theoretical understanding of the behavior in the limit of large |θ| remains an open challenge.

Abstract
We developed a scheme for evaluating the size of the largest connected subnetwork (giant component) in random networks and the percolation threshold when sites (nodes) and/or bonds (edges) are removed from the networks based on the cavity method of statistical mechanics of disordered systems. We apply our scheme particularly to random networks of bimodal degree distribution (two-peak networks), which have been proposed in earlier studies as robust networks against random failures of site and/or targeted (random degree-dependent) attacks on sites. Our analysis indicates that the correlations among degrees affect a network's robustness against targeted attacks on sites or bonds nontrivially depending on details of network configurations.

Abstract
We investigate the kinetics of bimolecular chemical reactions A+A→0 and A+B→0 on weighted scale-free networks (WSFNs) with degree distribution P(k)∼k^{-γ} . On WSFNs, a weight w{ij} is assigned to the link between node i and j . We consider the symmetric weight given as w{ij}=(k{i}k{j})^{μ} , where k{i} and k{j} are the degree of node i and j . The hopping probability T{ij} of a particle from node i to j is then given as T{ij}∝(k{i}k{j})^{μ} . From a mean-field analysis, we analytically show in the thermodynamic limit that the kinetics of A+A→0 and A+B→0 are identical and there exist two crossover μ values, μ{1c}=γ-2 and μ{2c}=(γ-3)/2 . The density of particles ρ(t) algebraically decays in time t as t^{-α} with α=1 for μ<μ{2c} and α=(μ+1)/(γ-μ-2) for μ{2c}≤μ<μ{1c} . For μ≥μ{1c} , ρ decays exponentially. With the mean-field rate equation for ρ(t) , we also analytically show that the kinetics on the WSFNs is mapped onto that on unweighted SFNs with P(k)∼k^{-γ^{'}} with γ^{'}=(μ+γ)/(μ+1) .

Abstract
Diffusion is a key element of a large set of phenomena occurring on natural and social systems modeled in terms of complex weighted networks. Here, we introduce a general formalism that allows to easily write down mean-field equations for any diffusive dynamics on weighted networks. We also propose the concept of annealed weighted networks, in which such equations become exact. We show the validity of our approach addressing the problem of the random walk process, pointing out a strong departure of the behavior observed in quenched real scale-free networks from the mean-field predictions. Additionally, we show how to employ our formalism for more complex dynamics. Our work sheds light on mean-field theory on weighted networks and on its range of validity, and warns about the reliability of mean-field results for complex dynamics.

Abstract
Biased (degree-dependent) percolation was recently shown to provide strategies for turning robust networks fragile and vice versa. Here, we present more detailed results for biased edge percolation on scale-free networks. We assume a network in which the probability for an edge between nodes i and j to be retained is proportional to (k(i)k(j)(-alpha) with k(i) and k(j) the degrees of the nodes. We discuss two methods of network reconstruction, sequential and simultaneous, and investigate their properties by analytical and numerical means. The system is examined away from the percolation transition, where the size of the giant cluster is obtained, and close to the transition, where nonuniversal critical exponents are extracted using the generating-functions method. The theory is found to agree quite well with simulations. By presenting an extension of the Fortuin-Kasteleyn construction, we find that biased percolation is well-described by the q-->1 limit of the q -state Potts model with inhomogeneous couplings.

Abstract
We present simulation results for the contact process on regular cubic networks that are composed of a one-dimensional lattice and a set of long edges with unbounded length. Networks with different sets of long edges are considered that are characterized by different shortest-path dimensions and random-walk dimensions. We provide numerical evidence that an absorbing phase transition occurs at some finite value of the infection rate and the corresponding dynamical critical exponents depend on the underlying network. Furthermore, the time-dependent quantities exhibit log-periodic oscillations in agreement with the discrete scale invariance of the networks. In case of spreading from an initial active seed, the critical exponents are found to depend on the location of the initial seed and break the hyperscaling law of the directed percolation universality class due to the inhomogeneity of the networks. However, if the cluster-spreading quantities are averaged over initial sites, the hyperscaling law is restored.

Abstract
This work considers an Ising model on the Apollonian network, where the exchange constant J(i,j) approximately 1/(k(i)k(j))(mu) between two neighboring spins (i,j) is a function of the degree k of both spins. Using the exact geometrical construction rule for the network, the thermodynamical and magnetic properties are evaluated by iterating a system of discrete maps that allows for very precise results in the thermodynamic limit. The results can be compared to the predictions of a general framework for spin models on scale-free networks, where the node distribution P(k) approximately k(-gamma) , with node-dependent interacting constants. We observe that, by increasing mu , the critical behavior of the model changes from a phase transition at T=infinity for a uniform system (mu=0) to a T=0 phase transition when mu=1 : in the thermodynamic limit, the system shows no true critical behavior at a finite temperature for the whole mu > or = 0 interval. The magnetization and magnetic susceptibility are found to present noncritical scaling properties.

Abstract
We investigate topologically biased failure in scale-free networks with a degree distribution P(k) proportional, variantk;{-gamma}. The probability p that an edge remains intact is assumed to depend on the degree k of adjacent nodes i and j through p_{ij} proportional, variant(k_{i}k_{j});{-alpha}. By varying the exponent alpha, we interpolate between random (alpha=0) and systematic failure. For alpha>0 (<0) the most (least) connected nodes are depreciated first. This topological bias introduces a characteristic scale in P(k) of the depreciated network, marking a crossover between two distinct power laws. The critical percolation threshold, at which global connectivity is lost, depends both on gamma and on alpha. As a consequence, network robustness or fragility can be controlled through fine-tuning of the topological bias in the failure process.

Abstract
We investigate the condensation phase transitions of the conserved-mass aggregation (CA) model on weighted scale-free networks (WSFNs). In WSFNs, the weight w_{ij} is assigned to the link between the nodes i and j . We consider the symmetric weight given by w_{ij}=(k_{i}k_{j});{alpha} . On WSFNs, we numerically show that a certain critical alpha_{c} exists below which the CA model undergoes the same type of condensation transitions as those of the CA model on regular lattices. However, for alpha > or = alpha_{c} , the condensation always occurs for any density rho and omega . We analytically find alpha_{c}=(gamma-3)/2 on the WSFN with the degree exponent gamma . To obtain alpha_{c} , we analytically derive the scaling behavior of the stationary probability distribution P_{k};{infinity} of finding a walker at nodes with degree k , and the probability D(k) of finding two walkers simultaneously at the same node with degree k . We find P_{k};{infinity} approximately k;{alpha+1-gamma} and D(k) approximately k;{2(alpha+1)-gamma} , respectively. With P_{k};{infinity} , we also show analytically and numerically that the average mass m(k) on a node with degree k scales as k;{alpha+1} without any jumps at the maximal degree of the network for any rho as in SFNs with alpha=0 .

Abstract
We show that there are two classes of finite size effects for dynamic models taking place on a scale-free topology. Some models in finite networks show a behavior that depends only on the system size N. Others present an additional distinct dependence on the upper cutoff kc of the degree distribution. Since the infinite network limit can be obtained by allowing kc to diverge with the system size in an arbitrary way, this result implies that there are different routes to the thermodynamic limit in scale-free networks. The contact process (in its mean-field version) belongs to this second class and thus our results clarify the recent discrepancy between theory and simulations with different scaling of kc reported in the literature.

Abstract
We consider the ferromagnetic large- q state Potts model in complex evolving networks, which is equivalent to an optimal cooperation problem, in which the agents try to optimize the total sum of pair cooperation benefits and the supports of independent projects. The agents are found to be typically of two kinds: A fraction of m (being the magnetization of the Potts model) belongs to a large cooperating cluster, whereas the others are isolated one man's projects. It is shown rigorously that the homogeneous model has a strongly first-order phase transition, which turns to second-order for random interactions (benefits), the properties of which are studied numerically on the Barabási-Albert network. The distribution of finite-size transition points is characterized by a shift exponent, 1/nu'=0.26(1), and by a different width exponent, 1/nu'=0.18(1), whereas the magnetization at the transition point scales with the size of the network, N, as m approximately N(-x), with x=0.66(1).

Abstract
We use an exact renormalization-group transformation to study the Ising model on a complex network composed of tightly knit communities nested hierarchically with the fractal scaling recently discovered in a variety of real-world networks. Varying the ratio KJ of intercommunity to intracommunity couplings, we obtain an unusual phase diagram: at high temperatures or small KJ we have a disordered phase with a Griffiths singularity in the free energy, due to the presence of rare large clusters, which we analyze through the Yang-Lee zeros in the complex magnetic field plane. As the temperature is lowered, true long-range order is not seen, but there is a transition to algebraic order, where pair correlations have power-law decay with distance, reminiscent of the XY model. The transition is infinite order at small KJ and becomes second order above a threshold value (KJ)_{m} . The existence of such slowly decaying correlations is unexpected in a fat-tailed scale-free network, where correlations longer than nearest neighbor are typically suppressed.

Abstract
Weighted scale-free networks with topology-dependent interactions are studied. It is shown that the possible universality classes of critical behavior, which are known to depend on topology, can also be explored by tuning the form of the interactions at fixed topology. For a model of opinion formation, simple mean field and scaling arguments show that a mapping gamma'=(gamma-mu)(1-mu) describes how a shift of the standard exponent gamma of the degree distribution can absorb the effect of degree-dependent pair interactions J(ij) proportional to (k(i)k(j))(-mu), where k(i) stands for the degree of vertex i. This prediction is verified by extensive numerical investigations using the cavity method and Monte Carlo simulations. The critical temperature of the model is obtained through the Bethe-Peierls approximation and with the replica technique. The mapping can be extended to nonequilibrium models such as those describing the spreading of a disease on a network.

Abstract
We consider nonequilibrium phase transitions, such as epidemic spreading, in weighted scale-free networks, in which highly connected nodes have a relatively smaller ability to transfer infection. We solve the dynamical mean-field equations and discuss finite-size scaling theory. The theoretical predictions are confronted with the results of large scale Monte Carlo simulations on the weighted Barabási-Albert network. Local scaling exponents are found different at a typical site and at a node with very large connectivity.
