Networks: a random walk in degree space

The present work aims to contribute to the study of networks by mapping the temporal evolution of the degree to a random walk in degree space. We analyzed how and when the degree approximates a pre-established value through a parallel with the first-passage problem of random walks. The mean time for...

Sumario:The present work aims to contribute to the study of networks by mapping the temporal evolution of the degree to a random walk in degree space. We analyzed how and when the degree approximates a pre-established value through a parallel with the first-passage problem of random walks. The mean time for the first-passage was calculated for the dynamical versions the Watts-Strogatz and Erdos-Renyi models. We also analyzed the degree variance for the random recursive tree and Barabasi-Albert models
