Extreme eigenvalues of network connectivity matrices are crucial for network dynamics. This study shows that for large random scale-free networks, these eigenvalues are well-represented by ensemble averages, converging to predictable distributions.

Area of Science:

  • Network Science
  • Complex Systems
  • Statistical Physics

Background:

  • Network structure significantly impacts dynamical processes through extreme eigenvalues of connectivity matrices.
  • A key unresolved question concerns whether ensemble averages accurately represent eigenvalues in large-scale networks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explicitly investigate the ensemble averageability of eigenvalues in random scale-free networks.
  • To determine if ensemble averages can reliably represent extreme eigenvalues in large networks.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of ensemble distributions of extreme eigenvalues in random scale-free networks.
  • Examination of eigenvalue convergence as system size increases.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that ensemble distributions of extreme eigenvalues converge to peaked distributions with increasing system size.
  • Validated the concept of ensemble averageability for large random scale-free networks.

Conclusions:

  • The findings confirm that ensemble averages are a valid representation for extreme eigenvalues in large random scale-free networks.
  • This result has significant implications for understanding network dynamics, including synchronization and epidemic spreading processes.
