Optimal Transport on Weighted Networks for Different Node Delivery Capability Schemes

Abstract EN

Many real networks can be best described by weighted networks with a diversity of interactions between nodes measured by the weights of the edges.

It is of great importance to improve the overall capacity of these real-world networks.

In this paper, the traffic capacity of weighted network is investigated based on three different node delivery capability schemes: the delivery capacity of each node is constant in the first scheme while in the second and third schemes it is proportional to its node degree and node strength.

It is shown by simulations that the network transfer capacity depends strongly on the tunable parameter.

And different tunable parameter is suitable for different node delivery capability.
