This study introduces a new directed scale-free network model in Euclidean space. Results show this network belongs to a distinct universality class, with degree distribution varying based on directional bias.

Area of Science:

  • Complex networks
  • Statistical physics
  • Euclidean network models

Background:

  • Scale-free networks are fundamental in understanding complex systems.
  • Existing models often assume isotropic growth, neglecting directional influences.
  • Directional bias can significantly alter network properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the properties of a scale-free network grown with directional bias in Euclidean space.
  • To analyze the impact of directional bias (alpha) on network structure and degree distribution.
  • To compare the universality class of this directed network with isotropic networks.

Main Methods:

  • Simulating network growth in Euclidean space with a global directional bias.
  • Introducing nodes at a unit rate and defining attachment probability based on node position and degree.

  • Analyzing degree distribution and link length distribution for various values of alpha.

    • Main Results:

    • The directed scale-free network with alpha=0 exhibits different universality class behavior than isotropic networks.
    • Degree distribution is generally stretched exponential for alpha < alpha(c).
    • A pure exponential form for degree distribution is observed as alpha approaches negative infinity.

    Conclusions:

    • Directional bias is a critical factor in determining the properties of scale-free networks.
    • The proposed model provides a framework for studying anisotropic network growth.
    • Analytical calculation of link length distribution offers insights into network geometry.
