Fitness-based network growth with dynamic feedback
1Department of Mathematical Sciences, Brunel University, Uxbridge, Middlesex UB8 3PH, United Kingdom.
Abstract:
We study a class of network growth models in which the choice of attachment by new nodes is governed by intrinsic attractiveness, or fitness, of the existing nodes. The key feature of the models is a feedback mechanism whereby the distribution from which fitnesses of new nodes are drawn derives from the evolving instantaneous node degree distribution. In the case of linear mapping between fitnesses and degrees, the fixed point degree distribution is asymptotically power-law, while in the nonlinear case the distributions converge to the stretched exponential form.

Effects of feedback
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...
Feedback Loops
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

Negative feedback loops
Most signaling systems have negative feedback loops that can perform different functions such as output limiter, and adaptation.
Output limiter
Upon receiving an input signal, the cellular response rapidly increases until a threshold is reached. Beyond this threshold, a negative feedback loop...

Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
